Clive: Disappointing, inevitable, it's football. Elanga has been a star for Forest, but that attracts the attention of other clubs. We have to trust the club has a plan to take the profit, replace him, and, if you look at how Brighton has used this model, move forward.

July 8 (UPI) -- Newcastle United reached a $75 million agreement with Nottingham Forest to acquire winger Anthony Elanga. Sources told ESPN, The Athletic and Sky Sports about the agreement Tuesday. Elanga is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Magpies, who finished fifth in the 2024-25 Premier League standings.

Elanga, 23, is currently training in Portugal and is believed to be eager to work under Howe. His strong relationship with fellow Sweden international Alexander Isak and a close friendship with William Osula, Newcastle’s backup striker, are also seen as factors in smoothing the transition.
