Liverpool rival Man Utd & Chelsea for 100m transfer of "phenomenal" midfield maestro
"The England international is enjoying a remarkable rise in the Premier League and for his national side, becoming a hugely important player for Thomas Tuchel's side towards the end of their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. Our information is that Chelsea are increasingly keen on Anderson, and this follows strong links with Manchester United and others. Now the latest from the Times is that Liverpool are also in the conversation, seemingly alongside Man Utd and Newcastle as Anderson's main suitors,"
"It certainly seems inevitable that Anderson is going to move to a big club before too long, as he's surely too good to carry on playing for Forest. The former Newcastle youngster looks absolutely made for the very highest level, so it makes sense that the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea are looking at him as he could be a superb addition for clubs playing in the Champions League."
Elliot Anderson has become a rapidly rising central midfielder at Nottingham Forest and a growing England international during 2026 World Cup qualifying. Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle have emerged as primary suitors, with a transfer valuation around £100 million. Anderson blends strong defensive work rate with quality on the ball, suiting top-level, Champions League-calibre teams. Chelsea could face selection congestion behind Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo, while Manchester United view Anderson as a potential key midfield upgrade to replace ageing or unconvincing options. Reece James described Anderson as phenomenal, and Anderson is a former Newcastle youth prospect.
