Newcastle ‘will receive £35m’ in ‘straight sale’ of reluctant academy star to Premier League rivals

Newcastle United have agreed to sell academy graduate Elliot Anderson to Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest, according to reports.

Anderson, 21, joined when he was eight, making his first-team debut in an FA Cup clash against Arsenal in January 2021.

He spent the second half of 2021/22 on loan at Bristol Rovers and earned a long-term contract after scoring eight and assisting five in 21 League Two matches.

Tied down until 2026, the 21-year-old midfielder could be on the move after making 55 appearances for the Magpies, scoring no goals and providing three assists.
