Newcastle's offer was immediately rejected by Nottingham Forest, as the City Ground team valued Elanga at £60 million.

The Athletic reported that the "Magpies" leadership is currently considering whether to raise the price of Elanga or switch to another target.

Coach Eddie Howe wants to strengthen his attack, as Newcastle participates in the Champions League next season.

Elanga is the target that Howe wants, with his strong points of speed and ability to play effective, direct football.

Last season, the Swedish winger played all 38 Premier League games, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists for Nottingham Forest.

At the age of 23, Anthony Elanga is making great strides after leaving MU in the summer of 2023 with a transfer fee of 15 million pounds.

In addition to Elanga, Newcastle is also keeping an eye on a few other names such as Antoine Semenyo, Mohammed Kudus, Karim Adeyemi or Joao Pedro.
