Newcastle United has been actively looking to bolster their attacking options, with reports linking them to Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga. Despite initial talks being held before the transfer of Elliot Anderson to Forest, the Sweden international remained with Forest as Newcastle pursued other targets, like Greek goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos. The Magpies are still in discussions with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi, as well as considering other wingers to strengthen their squad.
Manager Eddie Howe emphasized the importance of quality over quantity in their signings, focusing on players who can elevate the team to new heights. With talks ongoing for Elanga as a more affordable option than West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, Newcastle is also reportedly interested in Barcelona’s Ferran Torres. The Spanish winger, who previously had a successful spell at Manchester City, has attracted Newcastle’s attention with a reported offer that was rejected by Barcelona.
Despite the setback, Newcastle remains determined to secure new additions before the transfer window closes, prioritizing players who can make a significant impact on the team. With negotiations ongoing and the market heating up, the Magpies are navigating through the challenges of securing top talent to improve their squad.
