ALEX THE GREAT

Elanga's ready to roll with worldy Isak

- by REBECCA JOHNSON

ANTHONY ELANGA called Alexander Isak "one of the best players in the world" as he prepares to work with his international Newcastle.

The 23-year-old winger completed his move to Tyneside from Nottingham Forest last Friday and is united with fellow Sweden star Isak, who has been at the heart of transfer speculation this summer.

Liverpool were one of the clubs said to be interested in securing the striker's services, but it is understood Newcastle value him at around £150m in a bid to fend off suitors.
