Anthony Elanga
23-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Elanga turned in back-to-back successful seasons at Nottingham Forest into a deal with Newcastle. He combined for 11 goals and 20 assists the last two seasons, aided by majority work on set pieces this past season. His role for Newcastle is a little unclear, though they dished out the money for him. He'll compete with a bevy of players for starts and it's a wonder if Eddie Howe will stop using the same XI that had success last season. Elanga has upside and may be on a split of sets when in the squad. However, his playing time from the jump is a big unknown.
Records 21 minutes in cup
Elanga (knee) created one scoring chance over 21 minutes as a substitute in Tuesday's EFL Cup loss to Manchester City.
ANALYSIS
Elanga bounced back from the injury that forced him to miss the previous five games across all competitions. It's unclear if he'll get plenty of minutes in upcoming games, but he could contend with Harvey Barnes on the right flank if Jacob Murphy (hamstring) is ruled out. The former Manchester United man has failed to score and provided just one assist during 26 appearances this season.
