Newcastle United have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign Swedish winger Anthony Elanga for \u00a355 million, with the deal expected to be finalised this week.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old, who made a significant impact at Forest last season, is set to bolster Newcastle’s attacking options as the club prepares for a return to the UEFA Champions League after finishing fifth in the Premier League last season.<\/p>\n

Veteran sports journalist Fabrizio Romano broke the news on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

Elanga, who joined Forest from Manchester United in 2023 for a reported<\/a> \u00a315 million, contributed six goals and 11 assists during the 2024-25 Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n

His performances have caught the attention of Newcastle, whose only new signing so far this summer has been 18-year-old Spanish winger Antonio Cordero, who arrived on a free transfer from Malaga, as reported by BBC sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having joined Manchester United as a 12-year-old, Elanga made 55 appearances for the club before moving to Forest, where he flourished under manager Nuno Espirito Santo.<\/p>\n

The move reflects Newcastle’s ambition to strengthen their squad ahead of a demanding season that includes Champions League football.<\/p>\n

Elanga\u2019s ability to create chances, his high efficiency in front of goal, and his crossing ability make him a valuable addition to a squad already brimming with attacking talent.<\/p>\n

According to Opta statistics<\/a>, Elanga ranks highly among Premier League wingers in key attacking metrics, including goal-creating actions, shots on target, and crosses per 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

His 6.65 crosses per 90 minutes far exceed the figures of Newcastle\u2019s current wingers, such as Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, and Anthony Gordon, whose averages fall below 5.<\/p>\n

Newcastle will also schedule Elanga’s medical for this week, as per Romano.<\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s interest in Elanga is clear: they are looking for pace, creativity, and directness in the final third. Elanga’s ability to play both wide and centrally further enhances his versatility, making him a potential game-changer in both domestic and European competitions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
