Manchester City have shattered the British transfer record after reaching a definitive £116m agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign highly-rated midfielder Elliot Anderson.
The 23 year old England international is scheduled to undergo his formal medical examinations in the United States, where he is currently on active international duty at the World Cup tournament.
The explosive central playmaker had consistently expressed a strong professional preference for a move to the Etihad Stadium, despite intense competing market interest from local rivals Manchester United.
New City manager Enzo Maresca made the young midfielder his absolute priority target for the summer trading window, having previously seen substantial multi million pound opening offers firmly knocked back by the Forest hierarchy.
Anderson will reportedly earn around £300,000 per week once he officially signs his long-term contract with the club.
