Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga has reportedly turned down the chance to join David Moyes’s West Ham United or Sean Dyche’s Everton.
According to 90min, West Ham United and Everton want to sign Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga, but he is on his to Nottingham Forest now.
Forest have agreed a £15 million deal with Manchester United for Elanga.
The Sweden international winger will reportedly undergo a medical with the Reds over the weekend.
90min has claimed that Everton and West Ham want(ed) to sign Elanga, but the player himself has “turned down the options” of moving to Goodison Park or London Stadium.
Anthony Elanga not a big miss for West Ham United or Everton
We do not think that Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga would be a big miss for West Ham United or Everton in the summer transfer window.
While Elanga is a very talented and promising young winger, he has not done much of note in the Premier League so far in his career.
The 21-year-old has made 39 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The Swede has scored three goals and given three assists in those games.
Elanga made five starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Red Devils last season.
The youngster gave one assist in those matches.
The 21-year-old also made one start and four substitute appearances in the UEFA Europa League for the Red Devils last season.
Yes, the 21-year-old could improve and develop further in the coming years, but Everton and West Ham should ideally be looking for someone who is more experienced and would be able to make an immediate impact in the first team.
Perhaps after two or three more years, Everton and West Ham could revisit their interest in Elanga if he grows and becomes better at Forest.
