Newcastle United’s new winger, Anthony Elanga, shares his excitement about joining the Magpies, citing the club’s unique project and special culture as key reasons for his transfer.

Anthony Elanga, Newcastle United’s latest signing, has expressed his enthusiasm about joining the Magpies, describing the timing as “perfect” for his £55m move from Nottingham Forest. The 23-year-old Sweden international has been training with his new teammates in Austria and is set to make his debut against Scottish champions Celtic in Glasgow.

Elanga has settled in quickly, praising the team’s camaraderie and welcoming nature. “It’s been amazing,” he said. “I’ve only been here a week, but it feels like I’ve been here for years.” He credits both the team’s efforts and his own openness for the seamless integration.

The winger believes Newcastle United is “building something unique and special,” and he’s eager to be part of it. Elanga had an impressive season with Nottingham Forest, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists, but he thinks it’s the right time to take on a new challenge with a team competing in the Champions League.

Under Eddie Howe’s guidance, Elanga is excited to showcase his talent and elevate his game. “Coming here, I want to showcase my ability and my talent with an amazing manager and his staff,” he stated. The players and coaching staff will help him grow as a player, and he’s looking forward to being part of this special project.

Elanga’s decision to join Newcastle was influenced by the club’s ambition and culture. “The fanbase is so passionate about football,” he noted. “It was a no-brainer really.” He’s thrilled to be part of a team that won a trophy last season and is building momentum.

The Swedish international is committed to buying into Newcastle United’s culture and DNA. “I really want to buy into the culture, into the DNA of this club,” he emphasized. With his positive attitude and eagerness to learn, Elanga is poised to make a significant impact at St James’ Park.
