Elliot Anderson is keen to make his debut on the przeh at Manchester City after his high-profile move from Nottingham Forest and could face Arsenal in Sunday’s Community Shield.
The midfielder, aged 23, joined City in July on a deal that was believed to cost as much as £116 million, and is the second most expensive British player to sign in football history. The transfer has garnered a lot of attention all over England, and as Anderson starts the next chapter of his career at one of the world’s biggest clubs, he is on immediate hot seat.
Speaking after his first training session under new Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca, Anderson expressed his excitement about joining the club and integrating with his new teammates. He was happy to be a part of the team and expressed his appreciation for the warm reception he got from the team and coaching staff.
Anderson is likely to be sitting in the grid for the Community Shield match against Premier League champions Arsenal as they approach, having only turned up at the Etihad a few days ago. The contest will be the first time that City fans will see Maresca in action in the international’s England midfield line-up.
Anderson seemed unfazed by the expectations, despite the enormous fee that came with his transfer. The midfielder admits that he is being kept in the public eye in the sale but is only interested in being on the pitch and trying to do his best, not the transfer price.
By signing Anderson, Manchester City has shown its confidence in his future and potential to bolster their team. Now, supporters and analysts will have their eye on him to see if he can make an impact in City’s fast-paced system and if he’s worth their big money.
