Anthony Elanga has rejected a move to West Ham from Manchester United, choosing instead to join Nottingham Forest.
According to a report from the Telegraph, Nottingham Forest are set to seal a £15 million deal to sign Anthony Elanga from Manchester United after he rejected a move to West Ham.
Hammers manager David Moyes is clearly desperate to freshen up his attacking ranks at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.
It seems as though West Ham are closing in on a deal to sign Carlos Borges from Manchester City.
And the Hammers were apparently in for Elanga as well, before he chose to join Forest instead.

The Telegraph reckon that the 21-year-old is set to join Forest from Man United in a £15 million deal.
He apparently rejected the chance to move to the London Stadium.

I have to say, I’m not sure why he chose to join Forest over us – surely he would have learned from Jesse Lingard last summer!
We have European football on offer at the London Stadium, and have far greater prospects of a top 10 finish this season than the East Midlands club do.
I have to say, I’m not too bothered about this one. Anthony Elanga is a good player, but Carlos Borges is a more exciting signing as far as I’m concerned.
Now Moyes has to go back to the drawing board and put all of his energy in to strengthening his squad elsewhere, before the transfer window slams shut at the end of next month.
