Nottingham Forest rejected a £50m bid for Anthony Elanga on transfer deadline day - and it epitomises the ambitious strategy of owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Nottingham Forest turned down an offer worth a potential £50m from Newcastle for winger Anthony Elanga on transfer Deadline Day, Sky Sports can reveal. And that surprising, but emphatic, decision epitomises the ambitious strategy of the Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis. With seven hours of the window remaining, Sky Sports News reported that Forest had rebuffed a £35m offer for the Swedish forward.
The feeling was that, whilst his brilliant set pieces would only add to Forest's options on the pitch, his popularity and engaging personality off it could equally only enhance the group. Marinakis felt similarly about the Brazilian centre-back Morato, bought for £15m from Benfica. Wilson said in his welcome statement that the club had been pursuing him 'for several windows'.
