Elanga Supports Isak's Move to Liverpool: A Teammate's Perspective

In a recent interview, Anthony Elanga expressed his support for fellow Swedish footballer Alexander Isak following his transfer to Liverpool. Isak, who had only recently joined Newcastle United, was sold to Liverpool after just a month and a half with Newcastle, causing a stir among fans and within the club.

Elanga, who joined Newcastle from Nottingham Forest in July 2025, shared that during their brief time as teammates, their discussions mainly centered around Isak's well-being rather than football. "He is a football player who has made his choice. Right now, he is a Liverpool player, so I support him and wish him well," Elanga stated, highlighting his respect for Isak's decision. Despite the upheaval surrounding Isak's transfer, which came amid reports of unrest within the Newcastle squad, Elanga described the locker room atmosphere as positive, emphasizing the team's focus on their preseason preparations.

Elanga, enjoying his new role at Newcastle, expressed optimism about the upcoming season, appreciating the quality of the team and management. He aims for a successful stint in the Premier League after completing one of the summer's major moves for over 700 million kronor. Elanga’s kind words reflect a strong camaraderie among the Swedish players, despite the challenges that can accompany high-profile transfers.

As of now, Elanga is happy at Newcastle and continues to support Isak as he embarks on this new chapter with Liverpool.
