July 8 (UPI) -- Newcastle United reached a $75 million agreement with Nottingham Forest to acquire winger Anthony Elanga. Sources told ESPN, The Athletic and Sky Sports about the agreement Tuesday. Elanga is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Magpies, who finished fifth in the 2024-25 Premier League standings.

Nottingham Forest are targeting PSV Eindhoven’s Johan Bakayoko as they ramp up their push for summer signings following the imminent £55 million sale of Anthony Elanga.

Clive: Disappointing, inevitable, it's football. Elanga has been a star for Forest, but that attracts the attention of other clubs. We have to trust the club has a plan to take the profit, replace him, and, if you look at how Brighton has used this model, move forward.
