Newcastle hopes to sign Anthony Elanga, but they are not yet ready to meet the asking price set by Nottingham Forest. Therefore, they are ready to provide players with a portion of the transaction to pay for the reduction.
Newcastle now makes Elanga the leading target for the right-wing position after giving up Bryan Mbeumo, who will join Man United or Tottenham. The 23-year-old, who scored six goals and 12 assists last season, has been well loved among the people at St James’ Park and will take action as soon as possible.
When that time comes, Newcastle will have the potential to provide players with the forest.
Harvey Barnes can join Nottingham Forest from Newcastle
As TeamTalk (via Nottinghamforest.news) reported, Newcastle is open to include Harvey Barnes in the deal in Elanga. The former Leicester winger was a major player for Eddie Howe last season as he scored nine goals and four assists in just 17 Premier League matches, but now he can keep moving forward.
Barnes is not a regular starter for Newcastle, and Anthony Gordon is the top choice for the left. But he still proved himself an excellent team choice for the Calaba Cup champion, making many important contributions in his two years in the Northeast.
It is worth noting that Elanga can also play on the left wing, so if Barnes stays in the club with the former man united man, his participation can be reduced. However, it may not be wise to sell Newcastle to him since the action was taken in 2023. But, for the forest, he is certainly a good addition.
