It has taken weeks for Newcastle United to secure the services of Anthony Elanga, a deal that has veered between completion and collapse for a month, but it is a successful end to a three-year search for a right-winger.

Newcastle United have reportedly reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign winger Anthony Elanga. The Magpies have held an interest in the 23-year-old for some time and allegedly failed with an opening offer in the region of £45m at the end of last month.
