Newcastle are expected to be priced out of a move for Elliot Anderson as the midfielder's performances continue to raise his market value.
Sources indicate that Newcastle are eager to accelerate a deal for Anderson, a 22-year-old who has become one of England's finest midfielders.
He will most certainly be in the World Cup squad next summer.
Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown stated that Newcastle are keen to re-sign Anderson from Nottingham Forest after selling him in the summer of 2024.
Anderson's incredible form has seen his price rocket, making it challenging for Newcastle to secure a deal.
