Anthony Elanga is Newcastle's Bronze Engine, a tireless presence whose work rate defines his role in the squad. A two-time League Cup winner, the Swedish international brings high-level experience to the Magpies following his major summer move from Nottingham Forest.

Operating as an Engine, Elanga provides the tactical energy required to sustain pressure across the pitch. With 22 appearances and 931 minutes recorded this season, he has proven his value as a reliable SQUAD PLAYER. While he is searching for rhythm during a quiet spell, his Passing score of 50 remains his most effective tool for advancing play.
