Newcastle United have submitted a £55m bid to sign Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, according to Fabrizio Romano.
It's been a slow start to the transfer window for Newcastle, who are yet to make any signings for Eddie Howe's senior squad. After qualifying for the Champions League, the Magpies will need to bring in reinforcements to cope with the hectic fixture schedule, while they'll be hoping to build on a season that saw them end their trophyless run.
Reporting on X, Romano has confirmed that Newcastle have made a £55m offer for Nottingham Forest winger Elanga, with negotiations under way. The Magpies are pushing to get a deal done this window...

Elanga, described as a 'threatening' star, could be a smart option for Newcastle as they aim to improve their attacking options.
