Elliot Anderson has completed a £116m transfer from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City, calling City the 'kings of Manchester' and expressing excitement for the upcoming derby against Manchester United. The 23-year-old midfielder, who was a key part of England's third-place World Cup finish, signed a contract until 2031. Anderson cited City's relentless winning culture and dominance over the past decade as reasons for joining. He also praised Kevin De Bruyne as a childhood inspiration and expressed confidence in working under new manager Enzo Maresca. Anderson led the Premier League last season in touches (3,300), duels won (297), and possession won (306).
