That being said, there doesn’t appear to have been much in the way of actual momentum when it comes to making signings, so Newcastle fans are projecting their own narrative onto anything they can to keep the transfer window buzz alive.
Anthony Elanga is clearly good friends with Newcastle forward Will Osula, with the Swede often commenting on his Scandinavian cousin’s Instagram.
After Will Osula netted a brace for Denmark in the 21s Euros last night, Elanga was in Osula’s Instagram comments again.
Anthony Elanga sent a mysterious message to Will Osula last night
Osula received praise from a few of his Newcastle colleagues, but it was Anthony Elanga’s message that caught the eye of the fans.
“Not gonna say too much. … keep going ma boy.”
While it’s more than likely just words of encouragement and nothing more, some fans are looking at the first part of that message and wondering what it could mean.
Newcastle fans have to make their own entertainment during transfer windows
Does Anthony Elanga know he’s Newcastle-bound, and that’s what he can’t say? It would be amazing if true, but we’re not convinced.
As we said, it’s almost 100% just a message of encouragement from a friend. Surely a professional footballer wouldn’t be hinting at a move before anything has been done.
Still, it’s nice to speculate while it’s so quiet. The transfer window opens up again today, so hopefully we’ll start to see some movement.
