Elliot Anderson got an assist and played all 90 minutes of England's 4-2 win over Croatia in their World Cup opener. Luciano Bisbal/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images- Manchester City are "advancing" in negotiations with Nottingham Forest to sign midfielder Elliot Anderson, according to Florian Plettenberg. The England international is in the U.S. playing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but that hasn't stopped the two Premier League clubs from making progress over a proposed deal. Sources have told ESPN's Rob Dawson that City have made an offer worth a total of more than £120 million. Manchester United, meanwhile, are yet to make a comparable offer for Anderson to date, meaning City are firm favourites to get a deal for the 23-year-old over the line.
