Premier League
The Arsenal is entering strongly into the bidding war for Elliot Anderson, a midfielder from Nottingham Forest, who is also of interest to Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Gunner team has joined the offensive to secure the young English talent. Although Forest has set a figure above 100 million pounds, the London club is not backing down. Arsenal's interest in Anderson is combined with the need to strengthen their midfield after incorporating more veteran players, making this move strategic.
The Rise of Elliot Anderson
Elliot Anderson has become one of the most promising midfielders in England. Last season he signed with Nottingham Forest from Newcastle United for approximately 35 million pounds and has since become a key figure at the City Ground.
Anderson's recent statistics are impressive for his age: this season he leads the Premier League in completed passes to the final third, won duels, and offensive finishes. Furthermore, his contract with Forest extends until 2029, and the club shows no intention of letting him go in the next transfer window.

Arsenal, a Serious Option to Sign Anderson
For Arsenal, the addition of Elliot Anderson would represent a move for the present and future. The club has signed midfielders like Christian Nørgaard, but at over 30 years old, there is a need to find a player with more potential. Anderson fits that profile: young, dynamic, and capable of becoming the midfield centerpiece.
Arsenal's technical staff sees him as a long-term solution and an improvement over their current options. Although Nottingham Forest demands a very high amount — between 100 and 120 million pounds to let him go — Arsenal is weighing whether to make that investment to secure the player before other clubs do.
Chelsea and Manchester United are also in this race, adding pressure on the North London club to act swiftly.
Challenges of the Operation
The main challenge for Arsenal will be convincing Nottingham Forest to accept their offer and negotiating a contract that matches the player's ambitions. Anderson is considered "one of the most promising midfielders in Europe," placing him in the highest category according to Forest's valuation.
Furthermore, Arsenal must internally manage their squad structure and budget to accommodate such a significant financial move without compromising other signings. The competition from Manchester United and Chelsea increases the urgency but also raises the risk of a ruinous bidding war for the gunners.
Arsenal positions itself as a serious contender for Elliot Anderson. If they manage to secure his signing, they would not only strengthen their midfield with a high-performing player immediately but also secure an asset for the years to come.
The key will be in the negotiations with Nottingham Forest and Arsenal's ability to execute the deal before another European giant accelerates the process. Anderson's future could mark a turning point in the gunners' reinforcement strategy.
