BREAKING: Newcastle United Seal Β£55M Deal for Anthony Elanga in Shock Summer Move!
In a stunning twist to the summer transfer window, Newcastle United have officially completed a Β£55 million deal for Anthony Elanga, the Swedish international and Nottingham Forestβs breakout star. The deal marks one of the most surprising and exciting transfers of the 2025 window so far β and signals Newcastleβs bold intentions to challenge at the very top.
Magpies Land Their Man
After weeks of speculation, Newcastle moved swiftly and decisively to secure Elangaβs signature. Sources close to both clubs have confirmed that Forest accepted the Β£55 million offer, with personal terms already agreed and the player set to complete his medical imminently.
Elanga is expected to be unveiled at St. Jamesβ Park within the next 48 hours, in what fans are already calling βone of the most exciting signings in the clubβs modern history.β
Elanga: One of the Premier Leagueβs Brightest Sparks
At just 22 years old, Anthony Elanga has already carved out a name for himself as one of the most electrifying young attackers in the Premier League. After departing Manchester United for Nottingham Forest in 2023, Elanga exploded onto the scene with a sensational 2024/25 campaign.
In a Forest side that often struggled to find goals, Elanga stood out, scoring 12 goals and adding 9 assists β while terrorizing defenders with his searing pace, direct dribbling, and tireless work rate.
Now, with Newcastle, he steps into a European-level setup, under the tactical guidance of Eddie Howe, and alongside stars like Bruno GuimarΓ£es, Alexander Isak, and Anthony Gordon.
Eddie Howeβs Master Plan
Elangaβs arrival aligns perfectly with Eddie Howeβs vision: young, hungry, athletic, and Premier League-proven players ready to take Newcastle to the next level.
With Elanga and Gordon likely occupying the wings and Isak or Callum Wilson through the middle, Newcastle now boasts an attack full of pace, creativity, and finishing power.
Elanga will offer Howe a versatile option capable of playing on either flank, pressing aggressively from the front, and stretching the opposition β a key trait in breaking down deep defensive lines.
Fan Reactions: βThis is HUGE!β
The Geordie faithful have wasted no time flooding social media with excitement and praise for the move:
> βΒ£55M for a future superstar? Steal of the window!β
βElanga is gonna COOK under Howe!β
βOur front line is frightening now β Gordon, Isak, Elanga. Defenders wonβt sleep.β
Many fans are already calling for Elanga to be handed the iconic number 11 shirt, while others speculate he may take #21, the number he wore at Forest.
Swedish Star Set to Shine on Tyneside
Elangaβs move will also spark excitement in Sweden, where the young winger has become a key figure in the national setup. Known for his maturity beyond his years and relentless drive, Elanga is seen as the future of Swedish football β and now, the future of Newcastle United.
He brings not only flair, but a level of professionalism and commitment that matches the ambition of his new club.
The Final Steps
Elanga is due to arrive on Tyneside within the next day to complete his medical and media duties. An official unveiling and press conference are expected to follow, potentially with a public fan event at St. Jamesβ Park.
Barring any last-minute complications, Elanga will join Newcastleβs pre-season tour and could make his debut in just a few weeks.
