Newcastle United could compete with Manchester United, Manchester City for Elliot Anderson

Elliot Anderson has been linked with a move away from Nottingham Forest in recent months.

The 23-year-old defensive midfielder has done quite well in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for most teams. According to a report from Team Talk, Newcastle United is interested in securing his signature, and they would be prepared to compete with Manchester United and Manchester City for him.

Anderson deserves to play at a high-level. He has proven himself in the Premier League consistently and has impressed for the England national team as well.

Newcastle players Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes have been linked with moves away from the club in recent months. They will need to replace them if the players decide to move on. Anderson could prove to be an exceptional replacement for Tonali. The Newcastle youth player could cherish the opportunity to return to his former club and prove himself at St. James’ Park. Newcastle had to sell him due to financial pressure, and they certainly regret letting a talented player like him move on. It will be interesting to see if they can bring him back to the club.

Man United and Man City could use Anderson

Meanwhile, Manchester United also need a quality defensive midfielder. Casemiro will leave the club in the summer, and they need to replace him properly. Anderson would be the ideal alternative. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Manchester City has been overly dependent on Rodri. The Spanish International has not been at his best since returning from ACL damage, and Manchester City need more options in that area of the pitch. Anderson will protect the defensive unit and help his team win the ball back.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually. All three clubs could use a quality player like him, and he could cost a premium in the summer. Nottingham Forest will not want to lose him easily.
