Manchester City unveiled the signing of English midfielder Elliott Anderson from Nottingham Forest in a promotional video inspired by the 'PlayStation' platform.

This signing comes as part of Manchester City's efforts to strengthen their squad for the new season, especially in midfield.

The club posted on its 'X' account a picture of the player signing the contract, accompanied by the caption: 'Elliott Anderson Blue'.

In another video posted on the same page, the presentation appeared in the style of a PlayStation player choosing which club to play for before selecting City.

The English international said in his first remarks: 'The Manchester derby is one of the biggest derbies in the world, and since I started following City, they have been the kings of Manchester.'

Elliott Anderson noted that he had always admired former City star, Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, expressing his happiness to play for the same club where Kevin shone.

The deal cost City's coffers 135 million euros ($153.6 million), making Anderson the third most expensive player in Premier League history after Liverpool's Alexander Isak and Chelsea's English player Morgan Rogers.

Thus, Anderson becomes the third most expensive player in Premier League history, after Alexander Isak and Morgan Rogers. This deal reflects City's desire to maintain their competitive strength and bolster their squad with young players. Anderson is expected to be a potential successor to Kevin De Bruyne in the future, especially since he expressed admiration for the Belgian star. Moreover, the innovative presentation method indicates the club's focus on digital marketing and engaging fans.
