Newcastle United has submitted a bid worth about £55 million to Nottingham Forest for winger Anthony Elanga, according to people familiar with the negotiations. Talks between the two Premier League clubs are under way, with Newcastle eager to complete the deal during the current transfer window. Elanga, 23, joined Forest from Manchester United in 2023 and scored nine league goals last season, enhancing his reputation as one of the competition’s quickest wide players. Should the transfer be agreed, Elanga would become one of Newcastle’s most expensive signings since the Saudi-backed consortium took control of the club in 2021, underscoring the team’s continued push to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
