Nottingham Forest have reached an agreement with Manchester United over a transfer fee for Anthony Elanga.
It comes after Elanga rejected a move to Everton due to fears over his suitability to Sean Dyche’s tactics.
Elanga saw his game time cut last season under Erik ten Hag, and it would be counter productive for a young Sweden international to do the same next term.
Now, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs have agreed on a fee of around £15 million for Elanga to move to the City Ground.
Romano adds that a permanent transfer has been verbally agreed. Moreover, Elanga has given his green light to the transfer.
