Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Anthony Elanga on a five-year deal from Manchester United, the two Premier League clubs announced on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old Sweden international came through United’s youth ranks before making 55 appearances across all competitions for the Old Trafford outfit. He has been capped 12 times for Sweden.
The clubs did not disclose the financial details, but British media reported that Elanga joined Forest for a deal worth £15 million.
“It’s a pleasure to be here. It’s a proud moment, not only for me, but for my family as well,” Elanga said in a statement.
“It’s the perfect next step for me in my career… I had interest from elsewhere, but for me, Nottingham Forest feels like the perfect place.”
He scored four goals at United since making his debut in the 2021-2023 season.
“Anthony has been a fine role model and example for other members of the Academy, and leaves with our sincere best wishes for the future, after Forest won the race for his signature,” United said.
“We would like to thank him for his service at United.”
