Newcastle United has rekindled its pursuit of Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, despite speculation surrounding his £60 million valuation. The Magpies are actively seeking a right-winger and have refocused their attention on Elanga after Bryan Mbeumo’s reported wage demands of £250,000 per week.
The Magpies had previously bid for Elanga last summer and are eager to strengthen their squad. Manager Eddie Howe is reportedly searching for a right-winger to compete with Jacob Murphy, and Elanga’s skills could prove valuable in this role. Newcastle United is reportedly confident about securing Elanga’s signature, despite his reported valuation.
While some Newcastle supporters are enthusiastic about the potential signing, others have expressed reservations about Elanga’s Premier League record, which includes 14 goals and 23 assists in 113 appearances. In a recent podcast discussion, hosts Andrew Musgrove and Sam Mulliner shared differing opinions on Elanga’s potential signing, with Mulliner questioning whether he would be a suitable fit for Newcastle and Musgrove believing he could be an astute buy.
Musgrove believes Elanga has the potential to become a top player and that signing him would be a shrewd move for Newcastle United. He thinks that working with Eddie Howe and the level of competition in the team could help Elanga reach his full potential. If Newcastle United secures Elanga’s signature, it could significantly impact their squad dynamics and performance, potentially making them a stronger contender in the league.
