BBC NEWS: Newcastle close to signing Forest’s Anthony Elanga with improved £55m offer

Newcastle are yet to finalise a deal for the 23-year-old but have been given encouragement that they are nearing an agreement.

The Sweden forward joined Forest from Manchester United, who are thought to have inserted a sell-on clause in the £15m deal that took Elanga to the City Ground two years ago.

He has scored 11 goals in 83 appearances for Forest, where he is under contract until 2028.

Forest will make the 22-year-old PSV winger Johan Bakayoko, who has been tracked by Borussia Dortmund and by rival Premier League clubs, a prominent target if Elanga departs.
