Newcastle United have completed the signing of forward Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest.
Elanga, 23, is Newcastle's second addition of the summer transfer window, following winger Antonio Cordero's move from Malaga.
The Sweden international arrives at St James’ Park after a standout 2024/25 campaign with Forest where he featured in all 38 Premier League matches.
He scored six goals and registered 11 assists as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side secured European football for the first time in 30 years.
Elanga adds to Newcastle’s attacking options ahead of their return to the UEFA Champions League.
He told the club's official website: "I'm excited, I'm really happy but most importantly I'm ready.
"I'm ready to put on this black and white top to really fight for this team and give everything for the passionate fanbase that lives and breathes football.
"I had an amazing two years at Nottingham Forest, they really helped me to become the player I am today, but I'm really happy to be here now."
