Elanga was born in Malmo, Sweden, where his father Joseph played as a defender. Anthony played for Elfsborg as a child, but when the family moved to Manchester in 2013, he was scouted by both Manchester City and Manchester United. He signed for the latter and progressed through the academy to make his senior debut in May 2021, aged 19.

He's here. Anthony Elanga is a Newcastle United player after completing his £55m move from Nottingham Forest last week. And now we can see him in the famous black-and-white stripes after the Magpies released a stunning array of new signing shots on Friday night.

Newcastle have completed the £55m signing of Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga. The 23-year-old Sweden international will add to Eddie Howe's attacking options as they prepare to return to the Champions League following a fifth-place Premier League finish last season.
