"Arsenal are pretty much the only team in that bracket who have a full midfield, so I wouldn't expect them to figure and his former club, Newcastle, as much as they would love to do it, I think he's probably going to be out of reach financially. A lot will depend on managers, with some uncertainty over the bosses at the clubs that I've mentioned so far, and a player like Anderson will want a bit of certainty around that."
"Anderson, a product of Newcastle's academy, left his boyhood club in the summer of 2024 to join Nottingham Forest in a deal worth around 35 million. The move came after he had made 55 first-team appearances for the Magpies. Magpies were forced to sell Anderson ... Despite his growing role under Eddie Howe, Newcastle were forced into a difficult decision. The sale was driven largely by Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), with Newcastle under pressure to raise funds quickly."
Newcastle United are unlikely to pursue a reunion with Elliot Anderson next year despite tracking his progress. The club views Anderson as a quality, versatile player but currently prioritises other recruitment needs and financial discipline. Anderson joined Nottingham Forest in summer 2024 for around £35 million after making 55 first-team appearances for Newcastle. The sale was largely influenced by Profitability and Sustainability Rules, which forced Newcastle to raise funds quickly. Arsenal appear among the few clubs with a settled midfield, and managerial uncertainty at potential suitors makes the next six months crucial for Anderson's future.
