Newcastle United have completed the signing of Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest, and plenty of his peers – including Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers – are buzzing. On Friday, Newcastle announced the arrival of Elanga on a long-term contract, having agreed a deal with Nottingham Forest reportedly worth £55million.

"Elanga arrived with bags of personality - frightening pace not only without the ball but with it as well - and not only that, he can finish, he can cross, he's got trickery in his locker but also, he doesn't know which foot is his best foot.

United never officially disclosed the specifics of the sell-on clause, but sources have confirmed it to be worth 15 percent of any profit made. That means United will take 15 percent of the remaining £37m fee when you subtract the £15m they spent on him two years ago.

If Newcastle manage to secure Trafford’s signing, manager Eddie Howe is likely to shift his focus towards a centre-back, with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi already being discussed as a serious target for the next phase of their summer rebuild.

It is little surprise that Newcastle have renewed their pursuit of Anthony Elanga, after a failed move last summer, as the winger's profile suits their high-energy and counter-attacking style under Eddie Howe.
