Newcastle United have agreed a £55m fee with Nottingham Forest for Sweden winger Anthony Elanga.
Newcastle are seeking to strengthen their attacking options as they prepare for their return to the Champions League following a fifth-placed Premier League finish last season.
The 23-year-old scored six goals and produced 11 assists for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side during their successful 2024-25 Premier League season.

He had arrived at Old Trafford at the age of 12 and made 55 appearances before moving to the City Ground.
