Howe finally gets his man
- Published
The attraction to Anthony Elanga for Newcastle is clear. Pace, skill and power from wide.
He is a player Magpies boss Eddie Howe has tracked for 12 months and now he has successfully got his man.
For the time being, Elanga will supplement the quality Newcastle already have in that area of the field in Anthony Gordon, Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes.
With Newcastle back in the Champions League next season, Howe needs quality options so he can rotate.
Elanga certainly provides that.
Whether the Sweden international's arrival indicates anything towards a departure out wide remains to be seen, but the club have been adamant none of their top players will leave this summer.
