Bristol Rovers' former loanee Elliot Anderson has become the most expensive British player after Manchester City agreed to pay £116m for his services. At Bristol Rovers, Anderson was a standout player, with teammates fighting to be on his team in training five-a-sides.
What made Anderson special?
Anderson's fitness and ability to play a high number of minutes were key factors in his success. This season, he started all but one of Nottingham Forest's league games.
Why did Manchester City sign Anderson?
With Rodri's future uncertain and fitness problems, Manchester City needed to strengthen their midfield. Anderson's combative style and ability to win duels made him an attractive signing.
How will Anderson fit in at Manchester City?
Anderson is expected to play a key role in Manchester City's midfield, using his passing ability to move the ball forward and create scoring opportunities.
