Elliot Anderson joins Manchester City in record £116m deal

From Wallsend to the Etihad

Manchester City have agreed a club-record £116m deal with Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson, making the 24-year-old the most expensive British player in the history of the game.

The move has its roots on a school football pitch in Wallsend, where Anderson's old PE teacher once said staff discussed whether it was worth putting money on him playing for England one day.
