Newcastle United are set to welcome Anthony Elanga after finally striking a £55 million deal with Nottingham Forest, per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The move marks a big step in Elanga’s career following a standout season in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old winger caught the eye with his electric pace and creativity, playing all 38 matches for Forest in the 2024/25 campaign. He finished the season with six goals and 11 assists, helping Forest maintain their top-flight status and boosting his value in the transfer market.
After seeing their initial offer turned down, Newcastle returned with an improved package that met Forest’s demands. Elanga has also agreed to personal terms with the Magpies on a long-term deal.
The Swedish international’s arrival will add firepower and depth to Newcastle’s attack as they look to build on last season’s European push. Elanga’s versatility could prove vital across the flanks in the upcoming season.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal is now in the final stages with his trademark “here we go,” signaling that only formalities remain before the transfer becomes official.
