  2. Anderson's statistics make 'incredible reading'published at 13:53 BST 10 June

    Four years since helping Bristol Rovers win promotion from League Two, Elliot Anderson faces what could be a defining summer.

    Anderson is expected to be one of England's key players at the World Cup, and his stellar performances for Nottingham Forest have led to such significant transfer interest that he is likely to become the most expensive British footballer ever.

    The 23-year-old has quickly become a key man for national team boss Thomas Tuchel - winning eight caps this season, just three years after being called up by Scotland.

    He is expected to start alongside Declan Rice in the heart of midfield when they begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia on 17 June (kick-off 21:00 BST).

    As he prepares for that, his club future remains uncertain. Forest have already turned down a significant bid from Manchester City for Anderson, as owner Evangelos Marinakis holds out for a reported £110m.

    He scored a superb equaliser to salvage an unlikely point at Etihad Stadium in March, and the Blues have long admired the player. They firmed up their interest last week with an opening bid and sources say they are expected to make another.

    Anderson tops the club's list of midfield targets following the departure of captain Bernardo Silva, and such has been his rise that they will not be swayed from paying a fee that could become a record for a British player.

    Anderson's eye-catching performances earned him a team of the season spot in BBC Sport's first end-of-season football awards - and his statistics make for incredible reading.

    Among all top-flight players, Anderson managed to:

    • Have the most touches of the ball (3,300).

    • Win the most duels (297).

    • Win the most fouls (80).

    • Win possession the most times overall (306) as well as in the middle third (154) and defensive third of the pitch (127).

    Among central midfielders, he also made the most line-breaking passes (376), completed the most overall passes (2,038) and made the most dribbles (95).

    He became the first player since Declan Rice in 2019-20 to win possession more than 300 times in a Premier League season. Out of possession he worked hard too, his 1,895 high-intensity pressures were the most applied by a central midfielder.

    So, to some, his success is no surprise.

    Stefan Ortega heads the departure list at Nottingham Forest.

    The goalkeeper joined Forest from Manchester City in February and made 10 appearances, seven in the club's run to the Europa League semi-finals.

    John Victor is expected to be fit for the start of the season after suffering a serious knee injury in January, with Matz Sels Forest's No.1.

    Defender Willy Boly and goalkeeper Angus Gunn will also leave the club at the end of their contracts this month.

    Striker Lorenzo Lucca, signed on loan from Napoli in January, is returning to the Serie A club having scored once in nine appearances.

    "Everyone at Nottingham Forest thanks Willy, Angus, Stefan and Lorenzo for their contributions while on Trentside, wishing them the very best for their next steps," read a club statement.

    Manchester City last week had an opening bid for midfielder Elliot Anderson rejected by Nottingham Forest.

    The 23-year-old England international tops City's list of midfield targets following the departure of captain Bernardo Silva, and sources say they are expected to make another bid.

    City have long admired Anderson and will not be swayed from paying a significant fee, which could become a record fee for a British player.

    Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is known to be a tough negotiator and is understood to want more than the £105m Arsenal paid to sign midfielder Declan Rice from West Ham in 2023.

    Anderson is currently at the World Cup, but England boss Thomas Tuchel has said squad members will have permission to finalise transfers provided it does not significantly affect the team's preparations.

    BBC Sport has previously reported Anderson is leaning towards a move to City over rivals Manchester United.
