Nottingham Forest sign Elliot Anderson from Newcastle

Nottingham Forest have signed midfielder Elliot Anderson from Newcastle United on a five-year deal.

Anderson, 21, joins from boyhood club Newcastle, who he has played for since the age of eight.

The Scotland youth international made his club debut in 2021 and played for Newcastle 55 times across all competitions.

“We are sure he [Anderson] will thrive in a Forest shirt,” Nottingham Forest’s chief football officer Ross Wilson said.

“As soon as the opportunity arose for him to potentially join, it was something we were all excited to make happen.”

Meanwhile, the club has also confirmed Odysseas Vlachodimos has moved to Newcastle on a permanent deal.

The 30-year-old Greece goalkeeper joined Nottingham Forest last September from Benfica.
