Anderson joined the Reds for around £35 million, while Odysseas Vlachodimos moved to Newcastle for £20 million.
Anderson has looked impressive in preseason, and it will be interesting to see how and where he slots in under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Before the season begins, fans, commentators, and experts have begun to forecast who will play and what will happen.
Nottingham Forest have signed six players this summer, the most fascinating of them is Elliot Anderson, who has joined from Newcastle.
Forest performed some crucial PSR gymnastics with Newcastle in order for both clubs to reach the criteria.
When it comes to Anderson, former Forest captain Luke Chambers has no idea what should be happening with him this season.
Luke Chambers offers the verdict on Forest signing Elliot Anderson.
The teenager has spent his whole career with Newcastle, but he will now begin a fresh chapter with Forest.
His pre-season performances have been mainly impressive, and he appears to have an excellent set-piece delivery.
Chambers has predicted that he would be a key player for Forest this season, lavishing praise on the promising kid.
He told the Forest Focus podcast: “For me, Elliot Anderson deserves a mention; he’s such a terrific player for me, and this is a fantastic acquisition. He’s someone with a lot of talent and the ability to play in a variety of positions, which he’s done successfully in the past.”
Anderson could prosper if he plays for Forest.
Nuno Espirito Santo must first decide where he will play Anderson.
It’s difficult to picture signing a guy like Anderson and then benching him, but it will be a difficult decision.
Forest’s midfield ranks include Ibrahim Sangare, Ryan Yates, Danilo, and Nicolas Dominguez, therefore it will be difficult for him to gain a game there.
Out wide, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga appear to have sealed down their positions, with Jota Silva also eager for game time.
Anderson, however, appears to be a solid acquisition.
At 21, his future appears to be very bright, and if he can also take a set piece, that will be a huge advantage for the Reds.
It’s curious that Chambers chose him out of all the new arrivals, and perhaps he can be a valuable asset to Forest this season.
