Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey believes Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson could be the Reds’ answer to N’Golo Kante, who would help the club win another Premier League title.
The 23-year-old Anderson has excelled since leaving Newcastle for the City Ground and is now firmly established as part of Thomas Tuchel’s plans for next summer’s World Cup.
Unsurprisingly, Anderson’s form has alerted a number of leading Premier League clubs with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool, who are all reportedly interested in a deal for the talented midfielder at the end of the season.
Liverpool did not need to make a move during the January window as they did not need to sign anymore midfielders, but there is talk that they could make a move at the end of the season and meet the massive £100 million asking price that Forest have placed on his head.
Heskey has been impressed by Anderson, and he has urged LIVERPOOL to make a move, telling aceodds.com: “From what I’ve seen I like Anderson. I like the fact he can get around the pitch. These pitches are big. I’m nearly 50 and I look at the pitches today and say: ‘I used to run around on that?’
“You’ve got to have someone that can cover ground and the way Liverpool play, they need someone energetic and someone that can cover ground as quickly as possible.
“Everyone is trying to find a Kanté who can get around the pitch. One minute he’s here and then he’s tackling the ball and then he’s running with the ball. That’s one player in Anderson who I think can cover the pitch aggressively.”

It is very easy to see why all the big clubs wants Anderson, he has been so impressive for Forest and a player that could become one of the best in his position, but he needs to make the right career choices.
If the big clubs are circling for a potential deal, then Anderson needs to make sure that LIVERPOOL, Chelsea, Man United and Tottenham have the space in the side for him to play, he doesnt want to move and then sit on the bench you know?
However – saying that, he is ready for that next step and could really get taken to that next level at Liverpool.
