Elanga expressed eagerness to contribute to Newcastle, reflecting on his growth at Forest and his desire to be part of the club's ambitious projects.
"I'm delighted to welcome Anthony to Newcastle United. He has been a key target for us so I'm delighted to secure him at this early part of pre-season. He is an exciting talent with attributes that make him a unique attacking threat. His pace, energy and ability to create and score goals will strengthen us and complement the way we want to play."
"I'm ready to put on this black and white top to really fight for this team and give everything for the passionate fanbase that lives and breathes football. I'm really happy to be here now. The club won a trophy last season and are building something unique, something special that I really want to be part of."
