Newcastle United made a shock £50m Deadline Day bid for Anthony Elanga, but the bid was pushed back.

Newcastle United saw a last-gasp bid of £50m rejected for Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga on deadline day. A £35m offer was turned down for the former Manchester United youngster earlier in the day.

Newcastle showed interest in Anthony Elanga this summer, but the interest did not materialize into a transfer.

Newcastle United have made a surprising £35 million bid for Anthony Elanga. The Magpies are interested in securing the winger after failing to finalize a £70 million deal for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi. Earlier in the transfer window, Newcastle had shown interest in Elanga but were unable to complete a deal due to PSR restrictions. According to Sky Sports, Newcastle have renewed their pursuit of Elanga with a substantial offer. However, Forest are reportedly not eager to sell and would seek a higher fee. Any sale could financially benefit Manchester United due to a sell-on clause in Elanga's contract when he departed Old Trafford in 2023.
