Anthony Elanga completes medical test to seal Newscastle move

Anthony Elanga has completed his Newcastle medical ahead of completing a £52m move; the Nottingham Forest winger is understood to be excited to play for a club in the Champions League.

Anthony Elanga completed his Newcastle medical on Wednesday following the agreement of a £52m fee with Nottingham Forest.

The winger flew into Newcastle's private airport on Tuesday evening to meet his new club and begin his medical testing.

Newcastle have agreed a deal with Nottingham Forest that could eventually be worth a total of £55m.

They will pay an initial £52m guaranteed and a potential £3m more in performance-related add-ons.

Elanga scored six goals and recorded 11 assists in the Premier League last season for Nottingham Forest and was a key figure as the club secured European football for the coming campaign.

Elanga will be the second winger Newcastle have signed this summer, after Spain youngster Antonio Cordero joined on a free transfer from Malaga, although the 18-year-old is set to go out on loan.

Newcastle launched an offer late last week for Elanga and discussions since are understood to have centred on the structure of the payments.

Elanga is understood to be excited to play for a club in the Champions League.
