Anthony Elanga flies to Newcastle on Tuesday afternoon to undergo his medical after a fee of £ 52 million has been agreed with Nottingham Forest.
The figure could rise to £ 55 million by £ 3 million in potential add-ons that were inserted during negotiations.

Newcastle launched an offer at the end of last week and conversations have been aimed at the structure of the payments since then.
Elanga is enthusiastic as enthusiastic to play for a club in the Champions League.
What Newcastle wants to complete a good window
Sky Sports News' Keith Downie:
“It was announced on Monday that Callum will leave Wilson, so Alexander Isak simply leaves behind a recognized no. 9. Newcastle will add another in that position.
“We have been saying for a while that Newcastle is talking to Burnley about goalkeeper James Trafford.
“He is the goalkeeper they hope for, then a right -sided defender and a striker who comes in next to Isak. If Newcastle is possible, it will be a good window for them.”
In the meantime, Leeds almost agree with the Magpies for Sean Longstaff.
The newly promoted club has made a £ 12 million bid for the 27-year-old midfielder. In this deal – if accepted – Leeds would pay a first £ 10 million plus £ 2 million in add -ons.
It is not the first range of Leeds for the player and they are not prepared to increase it as much more.
LONGSTAFF – A graduated academy whose sales would represent pure profit for Newcastle in terms of PSR – has already started the last year of his contract.
Newcastle will feel the perfect step for a target -driven Elanga

“After having spent the time looking at the preparations of Anthony Elanga for the last season, it was clear that the ambition seeped out of him, such as the sweat from his forehead after he was put through his packs through his personal strength and conditioning coach, Tom Joyce.
“It was in those sessions where he prepared for his most productive season with 18 target contributions in 43 performances in all competitions. It is in his last ball where Elanga added a further dimension to his game.
“Ambitions, while admitting that they played a major role in his development, during and after life at Manchester United, were held personally, but the desire to improve his previous year was loud.
“In many ways it was the outbreak after the outbreak for Elanga. The 23-year-old became the embodiment of the threat of Nottingham Forest on the countertop, in which she narrowly missed the punishment of the Champions League qualification and punishments.
“Elanga added a new dimension to his game on the city grounds, with his creative return of 11 competition assistants, building on nine from the previous campaign. He will be monitored on the further development of this area while he prepares for a link with his Swedish countryman, and an important sharper, in James Isak, in a long -goer, in Jamander Isak, in a Langenander Isak, in in Jamander, in Jamander Isak, in Jamander in Isak, in Jamander, in Jamander, in Jamander, in James, in Jamander, in James in James, in Jamander Isak, in Jamander Isak, in James. is.
“His former Clubman UTD has provided or not with the impact that Elanga could have, but they can have the talent cultivated by Carrington leave in 2023. The decision of Elanga to leave Old Trafford is not one that he is sorry if he is committed to Champions League football in the tone.”
