Two medicals booked as Newcastle agree to sell Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh

Elliot Anderson is the latest Newcastle United talent set to depart as it emerged late last night that the Geordie midfielder is on his way to Nottingham Forest.

After confirming that we’ve agreed a £33m deal to sell Yankuba Minteh to Brighton, The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealed that we’ve now reached an agreement that will see Anderson leave for the City Ground.

The fee involved is yet to be revealed, but Ornstein reports that it was another reluctant sale on Newcastle’s part, with exits for Minteh and Anderson both motivated by our need to comply with PSR over the final 24 hours of the financial year.

Minteh is due to complete his medical at Brighton today, while Anderson’s medical has also been booked in by Forest after he agreed to swap Newcastle for Nottingham despite recently breaking into Eddie Howe’s first-team squad.

It was reported yesterday that Newcastle held talks over a part-exchange that could see Forest’s Anthony Elanga head in the other direction, but Anderson’s move is a straight permanent deal, with it not yet clear if we’ll follow up our interest in the Swedish winger.
