In a heartwarming show of loyalty, Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga has officially turned down a lucrative four-year contract offer from Newcastle United, opting instead to extend his stay at the City Ground. According to Sky Sports, the 22-year-old Swedish international made the decision based not on financial gain, but on his deep connection to Forest and the club’s supporters.
Elanga, who joined Forest from Manchester United in 2023, has quickly become a fan favorite thanks to his explosive pace, work ethic, and clutch performances in key matches. Newcastle’s offer reportedly included a significant wage increase and the promise of European football, but Elanga remained firm in his desire to continue building something special at Nottingham.
“I feel at home here,” Elanga told club media following the announcement. “The fans have embraced me from day one, and I want to give everything I have to help this team grow.”
Forest supporters have flooded social media with praise for Elanga’s commitment, seeing it as a major boost ahead of the new Premier League campaign. With this extension, Forest not only keeps a top talent but also sends a message about its growing ambition and unity.
