The Mag report – 1 July 2024:

Elliot Anderson has been sold to Nottingham Forest.

A Newcastle United official announcement (see below) in the early hours of Monday morning revealing the news.

That announcement one of three in quick succession by the club, with Yankuba Minteh sold to Brighton, whilst Odysseas Vlachodimos has arrived from Nottingham Forest.

No mention of what the transfer fee was for Elliot Anderson, however, it was widely reported that a £35m fee had been agreed with Forest for the 21 year old who came through the ranks at St James’ Park.

As seems crystal clear, both Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh seemingly sold simply to ensure Newcastle United ended up on the right side of PSR with the latest accounting year ending on Sunday 30 June 2024.
