Elliot Anderson 'could be one of the very best' as Forest set £100m-plus price tag

Nottingham Forest have placed a £100m-plus price tag on Elliot Anderson, a player Jack Colback says "could be one of the very best." Manchester City and United are both weighing up the merits of a big-money approach for the midfielder. Colback praised Anderson as an "old-fashioned" midfielder who can cover multiple roles.

"He’s just very, very good. He’s a very old-fashioned kind of midfielder, where he does everything. Nowadays, you've got kind of No. 6, No. 8, No. 10, those sorts of positions. Elliot just does it all. His defensive play is fantastic. On the ball, he dictates play and is very good.

He is creative and he also gets forward. He’s one of those that does it all. He could be one of the very best." Morgan Gibbs-White has also emerged as a key creative figure for Forest, while Brazilian centre-half Murillo has been standing out at the back. Colback, who watched Murillo live at the City Ground, said: "I've watched him a few times.
