When referring to clubs that can compete for the 2025/26 Premier League championship, do not rush to brick Newcastle – the team owns a formidable attack with three excellent spearheads.
Recently, Newcastle has officially published a contract with Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest. According to Transfermarkt, the initial fee is about 61.4 million euros, accompanied by 5.8 million euros depending on achievement.
When asked about the new student, coach Eddie Howe said: “I am very happy to welcome Anthony to Newcastle United. He is an important goal of us, so it is great to be able to complete the deal at the beginning of the pre -season.”
“Elanga is an excited talent, possessing the qualities that make him a unique attack threat. Speed, energy and ability to create and score Anthony's goals will increase our strength and suit the play that the team is pursuing. He has the desire to develop more and want to achieve success here, and we all look forward to him.”
Elanga's explosive speed and direct gameplay attracted the attention of the team under coach Eddie Howe, and he promised to become the perfect piece for one of the most dangerous attack trio in the Premier League.
Along with the “goalscorer” of Swedish people, Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon – who are increasingly improved, Elanga can help Newcastle create an energetic attack, high -level and creative pressing – enough to spread the fear of all defenses in the UK and Europe.
Going into the analysis, only Mohamed Salah on Liverpool and Jacob Murphy of Newcastle itself has more assist more than Elanga in the Premier League last season. MU's former star is really the main source of Forest. He combined very well with Chris Wood, and hoped to recreate that to his compatriot Alexander Isak in St. James' Park.
Not only giving tectonic ability, Elanga also possesses the physical foundation and superior speed – the key element in the system of coach Howe. He was extremely fast and almost relentlessly moved.
According to a Premier League study illustrated in the upper chart, no player has a higher sprinting time than Elanga last season (1.17%). Notably, the second ranked person is Newcastle's Anthony Gordon (1.10%), which shows how dynamic of the potential attack of the next season will be.
This not only helps Newcastle to exploit the space behind the opponent's defense with passing passes, but also supports high -level pressing effectively. Both Gordon and Elanga have the ability to support defense and retreat to the border defenders.
Combined with Isak's innate talent in the middle, Newcastle will have an extremely scary attack trio, very suitable for Eddie Howe's football style – the perfect combination of energy and technical. The trio includes Elanga (42 million euros), Gordon (65 million euros) and Isak (120 million euros) with a total market value of up to 227 million euros – and all 25 years old or younger.
Man City (380 million euros) and Arsenal (270 million euros) are two rare clubs that own a trio of attacks with higher value. With the return to the Champions League next season, Newcastle needs to reinforce the squad this summer, and the recruitment of Elanga can open a new direction in their attack.
