Elliot Anderson has transitioned smoothly into life at Nottingham Forest after his move from Newcastle United over the summer.
In a clever exchange with Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest secured Anderson’s signature while sending goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos north for a hefty £20 million fee.
Anderson made his debut off the bench during Saturday’s game against Bournemouth, where Forest ended in a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.
The 21-year-old is now settling into Nottingham and is eager to secure a spot in the starting eleven under manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
As Anderson gets to know his new teammates, he’s been engaging in conversations about life at Forest, providing some interesting insights.
When asked about the toughest opponent in Forest training, Anderson singled out Ryan Yates, praising his aggressive play style.
While Anderson is adjusting to life at his first permanent club, having previously been on loan with Bristol Rovers, he is ready to face the challenges that come with the move from Newcastle to Forest.
With Anderson and Yates showcasing their talents during pre-season and potentially featuring together in the team, they could be key assets for Forest in the future.
Despite both players not starting in Saturday’s game, they have shown their commitment and hard work in training, with Anderson acknowledging Yates as a fierce competitor both on and off the pitch.
