Nottingham Forest have announced the signing of Anthony Elanga from Man United on a five-year deal.
The Sweden international has signed a contract at The City Ground until the summer of 2028 and moves as part of a £15m deal between the two Premier League clubs.
This move is a significant one for the winger as it keeps him playing at a high level whilst also gaining more minutes for his development. The 21-year-old already arrives at Forest with a good amount of experience under his belt having already played and scored in the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League in 55 appearances for Man United.
Our second summer signing is here.
Welcome to #NFFC, @AnthonyElanga ??

“I’ve been here with United, and from the minute I stepped out for the warm-up, I could hear them from the changing room,” the winger continued.

“I’m really ready for the challenge and I just want to embrace everything and get to work.”
