Anthony Elanga is finally on his way to Newcastle United, with news of a Monday night breakthrough music to the ears of many on Tyneside.
It was confirmed around 9pm tonight that a deal has been agreed between Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, with a long-term deal all set to be signed.
However, The Athletic’s [David Ornstein](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6473040/2025/07/07/newcastle-anthony-elanga-nottingham-forest-transfer/), arguably the top journalist in the industry, has now shared further details on the deal.
Ornstein reports that the initial fee is £52m, plus bonuses that are considered ‘difficult to reach’, suggesting the fee may not rise to the £55m some have reported.
As for the contract, Ornstein reveals that personal terms have been agreed over a five-year deal, keeping the Swedish winger on Tyneside until 2030.
The player is currently in Portugal, overseeing a personal training camp with fitness coaches, but he is due to complete a medical in the next 48 hours, with the club expecting him on Tyneside to meet his new teammates ‘by the end of the week.’
