Nottingham Forest Winger Anthony Elanga Signs For Newcastle
Newcastle on Friday announced the signing of Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga for a reported fee of 52 million pounds ($70 million). The 23-year-old Sweden international has signed a long-term deal with Eddie Howe's team, who are preparing to return to the Champions League after a fifth-placed finish last season. The fee is worth up to 55 million pounds including 3 million pounds in performance-related add-ons, reports said. "I'm delighted to welcome Anthony to Newcastle," said Howe. "He has been a key target for us so I'm delighted to secure him at this early part of pre-season. "He is an exciting talent with attributes that make him a unique attacking threat. His pace, energy and ability to create and score goals will strengthen us and complement the way we want to play." Elanga, who began his professional career at Manchester United, was one of the stars of Forest's surprise seventh-placed finish in the Premier League last season, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists. Forest paid just 15 million pounds to sign him from United in 2023. "I'm excited, I'm really happy but most importantly I'm ready," he said. "I'm ready to put on this black-and-white top to really fight for this team and give everything for the passionate fanbase that lives and breathes football. "I had an amazing two years at Nottingham Forest, they really helped me to become the player I am today, but I'm really happy to be here now." Newcastle have been frustrated in their attempts to strengthen their squad in preparation for a return to the Champions League. Despite being backed by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the League Cup winners have been limited in what they can spend in recent seasons by financial sustainability rules.

Matt Gaetz to replace Pam Bondi as AG? George Santos' X post sparks speculation
Calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi's resignation are intensifying following backlash over her handling of the Epstein case. A CNN report revealed that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering stepping down after a heated internal clash with Bondi over the matter. Rumors also suggest that FBI Chief Kash Patel may follow suit if Bongino resigns. George Santos has fueled rumors that Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi.(Reuters) This internal upheaval comes days after the US Department of Justice and FBI concluded that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein did not possess a so-called 'client list,' contradicting Bondi's earlier claims. She had previously stated on Fox News that such a list was 'on her desk.' George Santos fuels Matt Gaetz speculation Amid the chaos, a post on X by former Congressman George Santos has gone viral, sparking speculation that Rep. Matt Gaetz could be in line to replace Bondi, 'Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!' he wrote. The post quickly racked up thousands of comments. One person wrote, 'Gaetz as an interim would be awesome. That require no confirmation process. Once he has to leave, you could insert Ed Martin or any other number of people and just keep a good rotation in!' Another commented, "If Bondi had to resign could Gaetz be temporarily put in as "acting AG" without congressional approval?" A third person wrote, 'Now, that would be a dream come true. I just hope that Susie Wiles doesn't have a say in any decision that needs to be made on this.' When someone noted that the role requires Senate confirmation, Santos replied, 'Well he can serve 120 days as interim AG and that's enough to clear this mess up no?' Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson weigh in During Friday's Turning Point USA summit, Megyn Kelly directly blamed Bondi for the Epstein files debacle. 'I blame Pam Bondi!' she said. 'She has never missed an opportunity to go on TV and dangle sweet nothings.' Tucker Carlson, speaking at the same event, made headlines of his own, claiming Jeffrey Epstein was likely 'working on behalf' of Israel. "The real answer is, Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intel services, probably not guy had direct connections to a foreign government. Nobody's allowed to say that foreign government is: Israel," he said.
