Since the last four seasons, Arsenal under Mikel Arteta has not won the Premier League. They have been waiting for the title for 539 nights while being at the top. Arsenal now wants to sign Elliot Anderson to win the title.
Arsenal Has Improved Under Mikel Arteta
Arsenal is a bright football team. Mikel Arteta has lifted the team and brought Arsenal back into the Champions League. As per reports, the club is not a competitor but is a title contender. This season, Arsenal has many big opportunities to play. They are already in the semi-finals of the European competition. They are just two matches away from the finals to be held in Budapest.
However, the team has to improve them if they want to win major trophies. The club would have to improve both the midfield area and the attacking line.

Arsenal Finds Elliot Anderson To Strengthen the Team
Arsenal lost the top position in the Premier League after a defeat to Manchester City. Now, both Pep Guardiola and his former student Arteta are battling for the title.
This season, Arsenal is suffering from two problematic areas. The clubs lack in forward and midfield attack. The midfield player, Martin Zubimendi, seems tired. Whereas Mikel Arteta is not selecting Christian Norgaard, who can be good in midfield. So, these have created a difficult situation. Arsenal finds Elliot Anderson as the better option in the midfield. However, both Arsenal and Manchester City are in the race to sign him.

How Elliot Anderson Could Be The Best Option for Arsenal?
Nottingham Forest admits that “Elliot Anderson is an exceptional player.” They have set a very high value of £100m for the player. As Anderson has a contract with the club till 2029, the situation is under the control of the club.
If Arsenal signs Anderson, then it would be a major move. The move will be similar to when Arsenal signed Declan Rice. This can be a strong message to the rivals. Earlier, Anderson was rejected by Newcastle United. The player rebuilt his reputation in Nottingham Forest. Even the England national football team’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, praises him.
The pundit Jamie Carragher describes Anderson as “one of the best midfielders”. He said, “The player is worth it for any top team. If Arsenal signs him, it would make them stronger”. The player also has a 7.5 rating, as per FotMob.

Elliot Anderson Can Make a Move Just As Declan Rice
So far, Rice has been the most expensive player for Arsenal. Arsenal purchased Rice from West Ham at a price of £105m. Manchester United also had an interest in him. The player was well-trained under David Moyes. Before leaving, he also won the UEFA Europa Conference League as the captain of the team. Nottingham Forest will face Aston Villa in the European final. So, before leaving, Elliot Anderson has a chance to make a big move just as Rice did.
Author’s Opinion
With Arsenal having made successful signings this summer, Anderson will be the best move. If Anderson signs under Arteta, it will be the most important signing of the season. As per FBref, the player has 3 goals with 2 assists in 34 matches.
Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson both play well in the midfield. Both play well together in the England national football. If they play together in Arsenal, their partnership will strengthen further. This, in turn, will help win major trophies.
