Why Newcastle signed Elaga
Adam Bate of Sky Sports:
Anthony Elaga is one of the most explosive players in the Premier League and there is already excitement on the way he could become a favorite of fans in Newcastle. This speed is the most obvious characteristic of his game – and the statistics confirm this.
Micky Van de Ven recorded the top speed in the Premier League last season, but you don’t have to dig a lot more to reveal that Elanga was the off -competition sprinter. Seven of the 20 fastest sprints in the Premier League were his.
For the context, no one else in the Top 20, included Van de Ven, reaches more than once. Elaga, whose robustness is illustrated by the fact that he presented in the 38 Premier League games of Nottingham Forest, brought this rhythm over and over again.
Eddie Howe will aim to use this indisputable threat to the counterattack, but the former Manchester United winger, 23, has shown under Nuno Espirito Santo that there is much more in his game now than these extraordinary physical attributes.

William Bibiri from Sky Sports:
After spending time looking at the pre-season preparations for Anthony Elaga before last season, it was clear that the ambition was sweating from him, like the sweat of his front after being put to the test by his personal trainer and his packaging coach, Tom Joyce.
It is in these same sessions where he prepared for his most productive season with 18 contributions to the objective in 43 appearances all competitions. It was in his last ball where Elaga added another dimension to his game.
The ambitions, while admitting that they played a big role in its development during and after life at Manchester United, were kept personal, but the desire to improve your previous year was noisy.
In many ways, it was escape after the escape for Elaga. The 23 -year -old became the embodiment of the threat of Nottingham Forest on the counter, punishing the sides while the forest narrowly lacked the qualification in the Champions League.
Elaga added a new dimension to his game at City Ground, with his creative return of 11 assists, relying on nine from the previous campaign. He will have eyes on the development more of this area while he is preparing to connect with his Swedish compatriot and sniper, Alexander Isak, in St James’ Park – and a manager at Eddie Howe who has long been admirer.
His former UTD club may or may not have planned that the impact that Elaga could have, but they can contain the talent cultivated by Carrington in 2023. However, Elaga’s decision to leave Old Trafford is unlikely to be the one he regrets while he is preparing for football of the Toon league league.
