Newcastle United have continued their pursuit for an attacking player by holding talks over a possible deal for Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga – according to reports.
The Magpies were believed to have enquired over a possible deal for the former Manchester United youngster when they held talks over the deal that took Magpies academy product Elliot Anderson to the City Ground. However, Forest resisted any temptation to sell the Sweden international and United opted to sign Greek keeper Odysseas Vlachodimos instead as both clubs continued to battle with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.
Newcastle remain keen to add to their squad before the end of the summer transfer window and remain in talks with Premier League rivals Crystal Palace over a possible club record deal for England centre-back Marc Guehi. With the addition of a winger also high on the agenda, Magpies boss Eddie Howe gave little away when he was asked about any possible incomings following Saturday’s win over Ligue 1 club Brest.
