Newcastle United Agree £55m Deal for Nottingham Forest Winger Anthony Elanga

News summary

Newcastle United have agreed a £55 million deal with Nottingham Forest to sign Swedish winger Anthony Elanga, who impressed with six goals and 11 assists during the 2024-25 Premier League season. The 23-year-old is set to sign a five-year contract and undergo a medical ahead of his move to St James’ Park. Newcastle aims to bolster their attacking options as they prepare for Champions League competition following a fifth-place league finish. Elanga’s value has risen significantly since Forest acquired him from Manchester United in 2023 for £15 million, and United stand to gain a financial windfall from the transfer due to a 20% sell-on clause, potentially receiving around £8 million from the deal. Despite Forest’s initial reluctance to sell one of their key players, Newcastle persisted after a previous £45 million bid was rejected. The move highlights Elanga's development and Newcastle’s commitment to strengthening their squad ahead of the new season.
