The transfer market is buzzing with news hinting on Manchester City en-route to completing another palpable club record transfer fee as they are in the final stages of securing Elliot Anderson.
Manchester City are on course to repossess their seasons past dominancy in the English Premier League, meticulously hunting down Nottingham Forest’s midfielder, Elliot Anderson for a staggering transfer fee.
At the heart of keenly supervising the completion of Elliot Anderson’s move is yet to be announced head coach of Manchester City, Enzo Maresca who has been a watch dog and integral figure.
Reports from Elliot Anderson’s camp have confirmed that, Manchester City have succeeded to seal personal terms negotiations after engaging the English midfielder’s representatives, weeks ago.
The English box-to-box midfielder will switch camp from Premiership side, Nottingham Forest to the Ethihad for a British player transfer fee worth 116-Million-Pounds – a fixed fee with no add-ons.
As the negotiations are approaching its final stages of completion, Mynewsanchor.com can confirm that, Elliot Anderson has been scheduled to undergo a mandatory medical test in United States of America by end of this week.
The Tactical Make-up of Elliot Anderson
Delving into the Manchester City midfield make-up, a diamond shape midfield made of an indispensable Spanish midfielder Rodri with Bernado Silver and Nico Gonzalez or Mateo Kovacic.
One thing is obvious, a mix of largely tired legs of Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic and Rodri being paired with Gonzalez, who offers a lot of tactical flexibility and depth when the team is in possession.
However, Manchester City’s recent underwhelming in the last two campaigns have depicted a side, failing to remain defensively sound as a team, energy to be consistent with their press and ability to show their midfield versatility.
Then again, the team most often than not have either dropped the ball or stay on a back-foot when ever they are expected to ignite the unified team work to win back possession after loosing the ball.
Vivid example will be Manchester City’s astonishing lost to AFC Bournemouth in the English Premier League – when they displayed no interest in running and lacked the intensity to fight for the game.
In this light, a non-negotiable lad, specialized in providing the team with relentless defensive work, providing progressive passes and dictating the tempo of the game from deep positions.
Elliot with his work rate possesses the tactical capacity and flexibility to compliment Rodri in the midfield – with City’s intentions to recruit Maresca, Anderson walks into the set-up as a marquee signing and a solution to the team’s midfield qualms.
