Newcastle on Friday announced the signing of Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga for a reported fee of 52 million pounds ($70 million).
Newcastle United have completed the signing of winger Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest on a long-term deal. Anthony joins the Magpies after playing a starring role in Forest’s impressive 2024/25 Premier League campaign, scoring six goals and adding 11 assists to secure European qualification.
The 23-year-old, a Swedish international team-mate of Alexander Isak, arrived at the City Ground in summer 2023 and has gone on to surpass 100 Premier League appearances.
Prior to making his move to the Midlands, Anthony came through the youth system at Manchester United, making his competitive debut and scoring his first Premier League goal in May 2021.
He has also established himself as a regular part of the Sweden squad, with four goals in 22 senior appearances after working his way through the international age groups. His most recent appearance for his country came in their 2-0 victory over Hungary last month, in which he played the full 90 minutes.
Newcastle United Head Coach, Eddie Howe, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Anthony to Newcastle United. He has been a key target for us so I’m delighted to secure him at this early part of pre-season.
