Manchester City have agreed a transfer fee of \u00a3116 million to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gundogan_backs_Anderson_to_succeed_at_City\"><\/span>Gundogan backs Anderson to succeed at City<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>He&#8217;s a great player, but the amount is huge. Former Manchester City defender Ilkay Gundogan, who Elliott is trying to emulate, was asked by ESPN for his thoughts on the player:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he proved that he can (succeed), especially last season at Nottingham (Forest). He had a great season. He also had a great performance against City,&#8221; Gundogan said in words picked up by ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he has developed very impressively over the years and I am sure he will be a great addition to City&#8217;s squad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure the people of Manchester will be very happy because when you watch him play, you feel like he&#8217;s a player who sacrifices everything for the team. That&#8217;s what you want in a team-mate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always difficult to match such a high fee, but if Andersson can be half as successful as Gundogan, he will have achieved a huge success. But first of all he has to worry about the World Cup with England.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_other_news%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>In other news&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Barcelona are considering selling the player they signed just a year ago for a huge profit.<\/p>\n<p>Once the tournament is over, teams will be in full swing to pursue one of the young stars rising to the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the official CaughtOffSide app and get all the latest updates straight to your phone!
