Chelsea are reportedly interested in the Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson.
The 23-year-old has been exceptional for Nottingham Forest since joining the club, and he is one of the most promising young players in the league right now.
Chelsea are not the only club keen on him, and they will face competition from Manchester City. According to Fichajes, Chelsea have expressed interest in signing the England International midfielder, whereas Manchester City are already plotting a £75 million move for him.
Manchester United are interested in Anderson as well.
Elliot Anderson has been fantastic this season
The player has impressed for club and country, and he has recently been labelled as a “cheat code” for his consistent performances.
There is no doubt that he has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the world, and he could be an asset for Chelsea. The Blues are currently lacking a quality alternative to Moises Caicedo, and Anderson will add more defensive cover and physicality to the side. He could help Chelsea tighten up at the back alongside Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo.
