Newcastle believe a full agreement to sign Anthony Elanga will be reached this weekend, with details emerging of the star Nott'm Forest wanted in return.

Newcastle United could welcome four new faces to St. James' Park next week. The Magpies have had a slow start to the summer transfer window, with Eddie Howe yet to significantly upgrade his starting lineup.

Newcastle’s tendency to attack quickly on the transition plays to Elanga’s strengths. The right-winger’s ability to dribble at a high speed while making wise decisions means he is a threat when his team wins the ball and attacks an unstructured defence.
