Elanga joined Forest in 2023 for £15 million, after leaving Manchester United. During his time at the City Ground, he has shown his skills and potential as a valuable player.

Newcastle has been actively strengthening its team ahead of the new season. The club has already signed winger Antonio Cordero from Malaga on a free transfer and is now set to add Elanga to its roster.

The Magpies are eager to build a strong attacking lineup for their upcoming Champions League campaign. With Elanga's expected approval, the transfer is expected to be completed soon.
