Vitor Pereira has his say on £116m Elliot Anderson transfer as Nottingham Forest point made

Former Nottingham Forest head coach Vitor Pereira expressed pride in helping develop midfielder Elliot Anderson prior to his club-record £116 million permanent transfer to Manchester City. Anderson, who originally joined Forest from Newcastle United for a net £15 million, became an established England regular following his strong performances at the City Ground. Pereira noted that his coaching staff helped raise Anderson's individual quality and market value during their tenure.

Pereira took charge of Forest in February after replacing Sean Dyche, guiding the squad to Premier League safety and the Europa League semi-finals before being replaced by Oliver Glasner in the summer. Despite his departure, Pereira highlighted his staff's achievements, noting that Forest became joint-highest league scorers alongside Manchester City during his spell.
