Newcastle set to make signing from Nottingham Forest as part of Elliot Anderson deal
NEWCASTLE UNITED could sign Nottingham Forest reserve goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos as part of the deal that will take Elliot Anderson to the City Ground.
The Magpies have agreed a £35m deal with Forest for Anderson, who is being sold to ensure Newcastle do not breach the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability regulations.
This evening marks the accountancy deadline for PSR calculations, and the sale of both Anderson and Yankuba Minteh, who is joining Brighton in a £33m deal, will ensure Newcastle do not face a points penalty next season.
There had been suggestions that Newcastle could look to sign either Anthony Elanga or Morgan Gibbs-White as part of the deal that is set to take Anderson to Forest.
Neither player will be heading to Tyneside, however Newcastle are understood to be discussing the possibility of adding Vlachodimos to their goalkeeping ranks.
The 30-year-old Greece international joined Forest from Benfica last September in a deal that reportedly involved an initial fee of €4.9m, which could rise to around €9.3m once add-ons were included.

Vlachodimos made his Premier League debut against Aston Villa last November, keeping a clean sheet in a 2-0 win, but only made a further four top-flight appearances in the remainder of the campaign as former Newcastle goalkeeper Matz Sels established himself as Nuno Espirito Santo’s preferred number one.
Newcastle’s goalkeeping department has been in a state of flux all summer, with Martin Dubravka expected to leave after entering the final year of his contract. Loris Karius was released as a free agent at the end of last season.
The Magpies held initial talks with Valencia over Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili, but when a deal proved impossible to broker, they switched their attention to Burnely goalkeeper James Trafford.
