The Magpies had seen an earlier &pound;45 million bid rejected last month but returned with an improved &pound;55 million offer late last week, which Forest accepted.<\/p><p>The Sweden international has passed his medical and signed a long-term contract with the Magpies. The transfer fee is worth up to 55 million pounds, which includes 3 million pounds in performance-related add-ons. Newcastle United will feature in the Champions League at next season and that is understood to be a major factor in Elanga&rsquo;s decision to sign for the club.<\/p><p>Elanga began his professional career at Manchester United and Forest paid just 15 million pounds to sign him from United in 2023. The 23-year old helped Forest secure a place in the Conference League last season with six goals and 11 assists in the Premier League. The move will bolster the Magpies&rsquo; attacking options, adding pace and creativity to their frontline.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Welcome to Newcastle, Anthony! &#9889;&#65039;<br><br>We have completed the signing of winger Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest on a long-term deal. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AkLUEPE5Qg\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/AkLUEPE5Qg<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Newcastle United (@NUFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NUFC\/status\/1943750124221485382?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Callum Wilson To Leave Newcastle<\/h2><p>Meannwhile, veteran striker Callum Wilson has confirmed his departure from Newcastle United, bringing an end to a four-year stint at St James&rsquo; Park.
