Nottingham Forest have set their sights on a remarkable Europa League midfielder as Elliot Anderson continues to attract attention from top clubs around Europe.
Anderson’s future at the City Ground is uncertain, with Premier League giants Manchester United and Manchester City expressing interest in the talented midfielder. While City is currently leading the race to sign him, United may have to break their club record to secure his services. Forest still hold a strong negotiating position as Anderson is under contract until 2029.
As Anderson’s future hangs in the balance, Forest is exploring new midfield options, with reports indicating their interest in Lyon’s Tyler Morton. The 23-year-old midfielder has impressed since his move to Ligue 1 and is being pursued by other Premier League clubs like Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion.
While Lyon may be hesitant to part ways with Morton, the financial situation could sway their decision, potentially opening the door for Forest to make a move for the talented midfielder.
Morton, who struggled to make an impact at Liverpool, has found success at Lyon, contributing with goals and assists in both league and European matches. Journalists and analysts praise his footballing intelligence and believe he has what it takes to thrive in the English game.
With impressive performances in Ligue 1 and the Europa League, Morton’s statistics against Maccabi Tel Aviv showcase his defensive prowess and passing accuracy. Nottingham Forest could benefit greatly from Morton’s skillset, and hopefully, they can secure his signature to bolster their squad under the guidance of manager Sean Dyche.
