Anthony Elanga is the man who the North East club are currently pursuing, and they have now made Nottingham Forest three offers for the winger, starting at £45million before improving that bid to £50million earlier this week and then increasing the total package to £55million.

For the past year, Newcastle United have been searching for a right-winger and that search has continued this summer, even after Jacob Murphy’s excellent displays. Eddie Howe already wanted another option on the right flank following Miguel Almiron’s departure in January.
