Manchester City have seemingly secured their first signing of the summer transfer window. David Ornstein broke the news for The Athletic late last night that City had agreed a deal to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116 million. With the Anderson deal complete, and Anderson set to undergo his City medical today, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders have landed their first signing of the summer. Now Hugo Viana and company can focus on other areas of business this summer in the transfer market.
It promises to be a busy summer for Manchester City with the Elliot Anderson deal in the rearview.
Completing the deal to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest has clearly been the first order of Manchester City’s summer business. Protracted negotiations have taken place with Nottingham Forest to sign the England international. City have finally landed their primary transfer target. However, it seems that Anderson’s imminent arrival at the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders won’t be the only player that they sign this summer.

Dean Jones of FlashScore has reported that Manchester City are planning to make five signings this summer. Manchester City’s signing of Elliot Anderson is the first domino to fall in terms of incomings at the Etihad.
The work that City still needs to do in the transfer market does seem obvious.
If Elliot Anderson is the first of five signings that Manchester City will make this summer, it seems obvious what other areas of the City squad they’ll look to improve. Another midfielder, a right-back, a winger and likely a fresh back up keeper are on Manchester City’s shopping list. Each position is an area that City to bolster this summer.
Signing another midfielder is a must for Manchester City. Adding Elliot Anderson immensely bolsters their midfield but you do sense that City need one more to add the necessary quality to challenge on four fronts next season. A backup right-back is needed to provide cover for Matheus Nunes. Also, signing another winger should add an extra dimension to City’s attack and if James Trafford departs City as expected, finding the right backup keeper is essential business for Hugo Viana to complete.
Manchester City have finally agreed a deal with Nottingham Forest to sign Elliot Anderson. Anderson’s signing looms as the first of five signings City will make this summer as they bid to build a squad capable of contending on all fronts next season.
