With Newcastle United now confident that they will sign Anthony Elaga, Nottingham Forest would have participated in the race to sign his replacement in an agreement worth more than 50 million pounds sterling.
Optimistic newcastle on the Elanga Agreement
After rejecting the initial offer of Newcastle, some around the city of the city may have hoped that it would be the end of the pursuit of the Magpies to sign Elaga, but it turned out to be far from the case. Instead, the Magpies would have returned with an offer worth 55 million pounds sterling and are now optimistic that they will obtain the signature of the Swedish, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Given the importance of Elaga in the side of Nuno Espirito Santo last season, it would be an undeniable blow if the forest lost the winger in Newcastle this summer. As always, their attention is likely to turn to their own condition.
Already, those of the Midlands have welcomed a new boost of attack in the form of the star of Botafogo Igor Jesus and now they could focus on other reinforcements.
After putting the pen on paper, Jesus told the official Forest website: “I am really happy to be part of this new story, especially in a club like Nottingham Forest.

According to reports in Spain, Nottingham Forest has now joined the race to sign Ademola Lookman of Atalanta, which should require up to 60 million euros (52 million pounds Sterling) to sell their starry man this summer. Joined by Atletico Madrid and the Midlands compete with Aston Villa in the battle of the Nigerian winger, the forest hopes that the funds won potentially Elaga are enough to pass their competitors.
Losing Elaga, but replacing it with Lookman could quickly prove to be an act of genius by all the people involved in Nottingham Forest. The latter had a sensational season in Italy the last time, scoring 20 goals in all competitions, and could finally prove that skeptics are wrong in the Premier League after difficult spells for Everton, Fulham and Leicester City.
Full of praise, the former manager of Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini, told journalists last season: “Lookman has become a fantastic player when he improved his perception of the team. He had a more individual approach.
“He was not a bad guy, but he mainly focused on the individual. He made Atalanta brilliant, and Atalanta made him great. I am convinced that he can be the captain before the end of the season.”
