# Elliot Anderson aims to justify £116m Man City fee with trophies 2026-08-12T19:47:58+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Elliot Anderson could make his Manchester City debut in Sunday's Community Shield against Arsenal, just days after joining from Nottingham Forest in a deal that could reach £116 million. The 23-year-old midfielder, now the second-most expensive British player, said he wants to win a trophy in his first week and let his performances answer critics of the fee. Sportstar reports Anderson praised new manager Enzo Maresca's attention to detail and described himself as a box-to-box player who can both defend and attack. City finished second in the Premier League last season and begin their new campaign against Bournemouth on August 23. Anderson, who trained with his new teammates for the first time on Wednesday, said he is determined to show what he can do over the coming season. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com Tags: Community Shield, Elliot Anderson, Enzo Maresca, Manchester City, Premier League, transfer fee Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/elliot-anderson-aims-to-justify-116m-man-city-fee-with-trophies/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
