Newcastle United are ready to say goodbye to former youth team captain Elliot Anderson
Elliot Anderson, a midfielder for Newcastle United, is anticipated to join Nottingham Forest later today.
After Saturday night’s £33 million sale of Yankuba Minteh to Brighton & Hove Albion, the Academy product is reportedly another reluctant sale from the Magpies. Although Anderson did not want to leave his boyhood club, Chronicle Live has learned that favorable personal terms were worked out for the 21-year-old.
It’s also thought that head coach Eddie Howe was keen to keep Anderson around, but a number of departures have occurred as a result of the club’s urgent PSR problems and have to adhere to Premier League financial regulations. The Whitley Bay youngster was eager to extend his present contract, which was set to expire in 2026, but an agreement worth between £30 and £40 million was reached; it is unclear if this amount will be paid in full or in installments.
The fact that Newcastle will receive a pure profit transfer fee to allay any PSR worries is the one bright spot for the Magpies. However, when Premier League teams approach the June 30 deadline for PSR health checks June 30 deadline It’s unlikely that Anderson and Minteh will be leaving this summer.
Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier might yet be acquired, and last night’s speculation of Anthony Gordon’s sale persisted. Gordon was put up for grabs by Liverpool, with trade and money exchanges discussed all Saturday.
