Elliot Anderson is emerging as one of the hottest properties in the Premier League, with several top clubs keeping a close eye on the Nottingham Forest midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window. However, Nottingham Forest has no intention of letting go of Anderson easily. Manager Vitor Pereira has sent a clear message about the club’s plans for the upcoming season.
Despite a 3-2 loss to Manchester United, Anderson was one of Forest’s standout players, providing two assists and reaffirming his status as one of the most promising young English midfielders. While Manchester United remains interested, it is believed that Manchester City currently holds the strongest claim.
Pereira avoided giving definitive answers about Anderson’s future but made it clear that Forest aims to keep its core squad together. This aligns with the philosophy of owner Evangelos Marinakis, who wants the team to remain competitive in the Premier League and in Europe following their run to the Europa League semifinals.
The Portuguese coach has publicly lauded Anderson, emphasizing his potential to reach the highest level and continue developing. Pereira also hinted that Anderson’s true talent hasn’t yet been fully realized, especially if placed in a system that grants him more creative freedom.
Forest is already planning the new season with Pereira, and the goal is to retain the core of the team despite the expected pressure from the transfer market in the coming months.
