Newcastle United are reported to be closing in on a blockbuster deal to sign Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, which former employers Manchester United are set to benefit from. Elanga has enjoyed an impressive career trajectory since leaving United for Forest in 2023 in a deal worth £15 million ($20.

When Manchester United sold the 23-year-old to Forest in 2023 for £15m, they inserted a sell-on clause which will see the Red Devils owed a reported 15 per cent of any profit. That would mean the Red Devils receiving 15 per cent of £40m, which clocks in at £6m.

Newcastle have made an improved £55m offer for Sweden winger Anthony Elanga, 23, and are on the verge of agreeing a deal with Nottingham Forest. (Mail), external Want more transfer stories?
