Former Manchester United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, speaking to Football Insider, claimed Elanga is keen on a move:
'From what I hear, it'll take at least £60 million for them to accept an offer.'
Brown added: 'Ideally, they'd like to keep him because he's been a big part of their progress this season.
Having those direct wingers has allowed them to play the way they do.
I don't know the exact terms of his contract, but I believe when Man United let him go, they had a clause in there that they get a percentage of his future sales.
So if they must sell him, they want to bump up that price and make the most money they can.'

With Forest qualifying for the Europa Conference League, Elanga is viewed as crucial to Nuno Espirito Santo's plans.
Nevertheless, if Newcastle edge closer to the £60 million demand, a breakthrough could still come.

Who was the girl with Prince William at the Euros ceremony?
Last night saw the England women's team land a nail-biting win against Spain in the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 final – in part, down to a penalty scored by cool-as-a-cucumber forward, Chloe Kelly. As is custom thanks to his role as patron of the Football Association, Prince William was on hand to congratulate the Lionesses on their big win, and joined other senior figures to shake hands, hug and high five the top players and England's coach, Sarina Wiegman. But many eagle-eyed viewers were also curious about the young girl on William's left, wearing a white football-style jersey, who looked overjoyed to be meeting the players too (and no, we don't mean Princess Charlotte! Although she was also in attendance with her father last night too). Judging by her jersey, which reads UEFA Foundation for Children, it's believed that the mystery girl is one of the many young people who receives support from the organisation – and evidently, she's a huge football fan! So far, her name and story has been kept under wraps, but Cosmopolitan UK has reached out to the Foundation to ask if there's anything they're able to share about the girl who has been low-key stealing the limelight, thanks to her infectious enthusiasm. Elsewhere, the UEFA Foundation for Children is doing some pretty remarkable work, having helped to build or renovate 100 football pitches around Europe and beyond, has 128 projects ongoing and 577 total to date. A statement on its website explains, "The UEFA Foundation for Children was established on the initiative of the former UEFA president, Michel Platini, reflecting UEFA's desire to play a more active role in society and communities. "For many years, UEFA had been working with numerous partners to develop projects and programmes designed to help children living in difficult circumstances in Europe and beyond. "Keen to step up its activities and target them appropriately, UEFA decided to create an independent foundation that uses sport to support humanitarian projects promoting children's rights in the following areas: access to sport, personal development, healthy lifestyle, disabled children, conflict victims, gender equality, environmental protection, employability, infrastructure and equipment, and strengthening relationships." We'll be sure to update if the Foundation shares any more information about the girl who appeared on the pitch besides Prince William and her story.

Europe Inc swerves Trump trade war 'hurricane' but laments higher tariffs
LONDON (Reuters) -European companies were left wondering on Monday whether to cheer a hard-won U.S. trade deal or lament a still sharp jump in tariffs versus those in place before President Donald Trump's second term. A day earlier, European leaders heralded a framework trade deal with the United States that would impose a 15% import tariff on most EU goods, averting a spiralling battle between two allies which account for almost a third of global trade. Although the deal is better than the 30% rate threatened by Trump and will bring clarity for European makers of cars, planes and chemicals, the 15% baseline tariff is well above initial hopes of a zero-for-zero agreement. It is also higher than the U.S. import tariff rate last year of around 2.5%. "Those who expect a hurricane are grateful for a storm," said Wolfgang Große Entrup, head of the German Chemical Industry Association VCI, calling for more talks to reduce tariffs that he said were "too high" for Europe's chemical industry. "Further escalation has been avoided. Nevertheless, the price is high for both sides. European exports are losing competitiveness. U.S. customers are paying the tariffs." The deal, which also includes $600 billion of EU investments in the United States and $750 billion of EU purchases of U.S. energy over Trump's second term, includes some exemptions, even if details are still to be ironed out. Carmakers Volkswagen and Stellantis, among others, will face the 15% tariff, down from 25% under the global levy imposed by Trump in April. Stellantis shares rose 3.5% and car parts maker Valeo was up 4.7% in early trade. German pharma group Merck KGaA gained 2.9%. Aircraft and aircraft parts will be exempt - good news for French planemaker Airbus - as will certain chemicals, some generic drugs, semiconductor equipment, some farm products, natural resources and critical raw materials. Shares in the world's biggest chip maker ASML rose more than 4%, among the biggest gainers on the pan-European STOXX 600 index. STILL TO BE NEGOTIATED Dutch brewer Heineken cheered the deal, with CEO Dolf van den Brink welcoming the certainty it brought. The world's No.2 brewer sends beer, especially its namesake lager, to the U.S. from Europe and Mexico, and has also suffered from the indirect effect on consumer confidence in important markets like Brazil. The rate on spirits that could impact firms such as Diageo, Pernod Ricard and LVMH, is still being negotiated though. "It seems that in coming days there could be negotiations for certain agricultural products, zero for zero, which is what the European and U.S. sectors have been calling for," said Jose Luis Benitez, director of the Spanish Wine Federation. Benitez added that a 15% rate could put Europe at a disadvantage versus other wine exporting regions subject to 10% tariffs. "If there are any exceptions, we hope that the (European) Commission understands that wine should be one of them." Lamberto Frescobaldi, the president of Italian wine body UIV, said on Sunday that 15% tariffs on wine would result in a loss of 317 million euros ($372.63 million) over the next 12 months, though the group was waiting to see the final deal text. Others said that the agreement- which followed on the heels of a similar one with Japan - helped bring greater clarity for company leaders, but still threatened to make European firms less competitive. "While this agreement puts an end to uncertainty, it poses a significant threat to the competitiveness of the French cosmetics industry," said Emmanuel Guichard, secretary general of French cosmetics association FEBEA, which counts L'Oreal, LVMH and Clarins among its members.
