I select new queen for English city (9)
I believe the answer is:
leicester
'english city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'i select new queen' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'queen' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'i'+'select'='iselect'
'iselect' is an anagram of 'leicest'.
'leicest'+'er'='LEICESTER'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for leicester that I've seen before include "Central English city; red cheese" , "City, Robert Dudley" , "English cheese, maybe red" , "City; orange cheese" , "royal favourite" .)
