AliousNottingham Forest’s stellar season has left half of England’s pundits, including Alan Shearer, thoroughly impressed, with the former striker singling out one standout player: Elliot Anderson.
Gary Lineker, who had initially predicted Forest to face relegation, has since admitted his mistake, humorously noting the irony that his own Leicester City languishes in the relegation zone, while Forest thrives at the opposite end of the Premier League table.
As Forest shows no signs of slowing down, Shearer turned his focus to Anderson, praising the 21-year-old for his exceptional performances since his £35 million summer transfer from Newcastle United. Stepping into Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad seamlessly, Anderson has been crucial, particularly during Morgan Gibbs-White’s injury absence.
On *The Rest is Football* podcast, Shearer said: *“What a season he’s having. It’s been a great move for him—he’s got energy, class, and a real presence about him.”*
Anderson: A Summer Signing Sensation
While much attention has been given to Nikola Milenkovic, Anderson’s contribution has been just as pivotal. Filling in key roles when needed, Anderson has delivered consistently top-tier performances, helping Forest maintain their upward trajectory.
His form has even sparked calls for an England call-up, with Joey Barton claiming Anderson has outshone Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo this season. At just the beginning of his career, Anderson’s future looks exceptionally bright, with Forest fans and pundits alike eager to see what he achieves next.
