A few days ago, Elanga responded to the transfer rumors with Newcastle this summer. He revealed that he had talked to Isaac, but now he is focused on Nottingham Forest.
"What I heard is the same as what you heard. There are always rumors in the football world, but I have a contract with Nottingham Forest and we had a game the day before, so I can't pay too much attention to these rumors."
When asked if the rumors are true, he replied: "I don't know, what I saw is the same as what you saw."
Later, when asked about the conversation with Isaac, he revealed: "Isaac and I talked about it. But what I said to him is the same as what I said to you."
"We had a good relationship when we played together and the chemistry was good. But I have a contract with Nottingham Forest."
"I am focused on Nottingham Forest, hopefully, can have a good season, and then we'll see what happens, the environment at Nottingham Forest is good. Obviously, you can see that Newcastle is interested in me, and when big clubs are interested in you, it means you're playing well. ”
“But Nottingham Forest is also a big club, they've won the Champions League twice, although that was before I was born. But I'm happy at Nottingham Forest and have a contract.”
Elanga joined Nottingham Forest for a transfer fee of 15 million pounds in the summer of 2023, leaving Manchester United, and performed well in his first season, scoring 5 goals and contributing 9 assists to help the team avoid relegation.
