Newcastle United have set their sights on Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga as the club intensifies its summer recruitment drive. Sources close to St. James’ Park reveal the Magpies have identified the Swedish international as a prime target to inject pace, creativity, and directness into their attacking setup ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Elanga, 22, enjoyed an impressive Premier League season with Forest, contributing key goals and assists that drew attention from several top-flight clubs. Newcastle’s interest comes as manager Eddie Howe looks to build a dynamic, youthful squad capable of challenging for European qualification and domestic silverware.
Talks are believed to be progressing positively, with Elanga open to the idea of joining a club with Champions League ambitions. The player’s versatility — able to play on either flank — makes him a valuable asset for Newcastle’s evolving tactical system.
While no fee has yet been agreed, early estimates suggest a potential deal in the region of £35–£45 million. With personal terms reportedly not expected to be a stumbling block, fans could see Elanga don the black-and-white stripes soon, marking another statement of intent by the Tyneside outfit in the transfe
r market.
