Nottingham Forest could be forced to sell Elliot Anderson and other star players at the end of the season as they will be put into a \u201cvery difficult\u201d situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown<\/a>, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider<\/strong> that allowing one player to leave could cause unrest elsewhere.<\/p>\n As a result of Forest<\/a>\u2018s downturn in performances so far this season, there are concerns that their best players may have their heads turned by Champions League interest.<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/strong> revealed in October that Sean Dyche has no plans to sell Anderson<\/a> in January as he plans to keep his best players at the club.<\/p>\n However, with speculation also surrounding the likes of Morgan Gibbs-White<\/a> and Murillo<\/a>, Forest will face a fight to keep hold of their star names.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> last month that Anderson is Man United\u2019s top target<\/a> and they are considering going all out to lure him to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n The former scout, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, insisted Forest have to be wary of player unrest with their transfer stance at the end of the season. <\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of talk about Anderson, Murillo, Gibbs-White,\u201d he told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSpeculation around Nottingham Forest and their players will continue because of where they are on the table, as it does with every team, every year.<\/p>\n \u201cIf a team is underperforming, or that\u2019s the way it\u2019s perceived, their best players will always be talked about with moves to clubs higher in the pecking order.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately for Forest, that\u2019s how it works, and it makes it very difficult to hold on to these players when they are aware of the interest elsewhere.<\/p>\n \u201cYou then get into a situation where the club have to make a decision, do they let him go? If they do, it could cause more problems if they make a different decision with somebody else.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they sell Anderson, say, and then block Gibbs-White from leaving, you then get the question about why one was allowed to leave but not the other.<\/p>\n \u201cSo it\u2019s very difficult to avoid that sort of unrest. I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s going to happen, but I\u2019ve seen it before and they have to find a way around it.<\/p>\n \u201cIf Champions League clubs come calling for Anderson like we expect they will, it could be hard for Forest to stop him leaving in the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n Nottingham Forest eye Jorgen Strand Larsen deal<\/p>\n While speculation continues to surround outgoing transfers at the City Ground, Forest are also determined to bolster their squad in the January window.<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/strong> exclusively revealed on 7 January that Nottingham Forest have sounded out Jorgen Strand Larsen<\/a> about a potential move from Wolves this month.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old\u2019s future at\u00a0Wolves<\/a>\u00a0has been up in the air due to the side\u2019s struggles at the wrong end of the table, with a number of clubs keeping tabs on his situation.<\/p>\n Forest are stepping up their interest in the Norwegian after losing Chris Wood<\/a> to injury for a lengthy period.<\/p>\n Wolves are reluctant to sell Strand Larsen to a potential relegation rival in Forest, but the Reds are ready to tempt their resolve with a big-money offer.<\/p>\n For more Nottingham Forest and exclusive news, follow us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or join our brand new\u00a0WhatsApp Channel<\/a>\u00a0for instant updates to be sent straight to your phone.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credit: Imago) Sun 11 January 2026 8:00, UK Nottingham Forest could be forced to sell Elliot Anderson and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[208038,94,207439,7407,43535,178,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-688613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-elliott-anderson","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-mick-brown","11":"tag-morgan-gibbs-white","12":"tag-murillo","13":"tag-nottingham-forest","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115875754030405774","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Elliot](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Elliot-Anderson-1-1024x683.jpg\")
