Nottingham Forest enjoyed a peaceful transfer window if truth be told.
Deadline day saw two players joined Forest as Tyler Bindon and Joel Ndala were confirmed by the club.
The best news this month though was that Nuno Espirito Santo didn’t lose any of his key players, despite interest from Chelsea in Murillo.
It was a huge boost for the Reds’ chances of bringing Champions League football back to the City Ground.
When performances have been as good as they’ve been this season, it’s natural that Forest’s best players are going to be targeted by other clubs and one of them has been of interest to one European side.
Roma were interested in signing Elliot Anderson
Few players have been as excellent as midfielder Elliot Anderson this season.
Joining for £30m from Newcastle United in the summer, Forest fans believed Anderson should be called up by England to reward his performances.
Anderson has already had Liverpool scouts watch him this season and it seems that the 22-year-old is being admired on the continent too.
According to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma enquired about signing the midfielder but the report states that their proposal was rejected entirely as Forest asked for a “significant sum”.
Will Elliot Anderson stay at Nottingham Forest?
It feels strange to be talking about a player’s future less than a season into his time at a club but Anderson is catching headlines across the Premier League.
Alan Shearer has hailed Anderson’s performances this season and alongside Chris Wood, Murillo and several others, has been instrumental in guiding the Midlands outfit to a top four spot.
This summer could easily see a bidding war commence for the midfielder’s signature but with Forest on the up and the chance of potentially playing in Europe’s elite competition would be more than enough reason to stay at the City Ground.
