Newcastle look to sign ex-Man Utd star as part of stunning £140m triple transfer – but rule out move for Marcus Rashford
NEWCASTLE are ready to launch a fresh raid for Anthony Elanga — as part of a £140million triple swoop. Eddie Howe is ready to pull the trigger on offers for Nottingham Forest winger Elanga, Brighton forward Joao Pedro and Burnley keeper James Trafford. 4 4 SunSport understands the Magpies are ready to bid £50m for Elanga after seeing a £45m offer rejected earlier this week. And they will battle Chelsea for £60m-rated Pedro, while wrapping up £30m Trafford, after June 30. That is when a new window begins for Profit and Sustainability rules — in which Toon may be able to include around £100m in Champions League revenue. Elanga is Howe's top target on the right wing although the club are also exploring other targets in case they fail to land the Swede. Aston Villa 's Jacob Ramsey and Bournemouth 's Antoine Semenyo are also on the radar. Howe is a huge admirer of Pedro and missed out on him three years ago when he was at Watford before eventually landing Alexander Isak, who he now wants the Samba star to help support in attack. Brighton are willing to cash in after he was axed for the last two games of the season by Fabian Hurzeler following a training-ground bust-up with team-mate Jan Paul van Hecke. Newcastle 's players are due to report back for pre-season training on July 7 and Howe, who also ideally wants a new centre-half too, hopes to have at least two new signings on board by then.

As for goalkeeper Trafford, the Magpies have got the green light to press ahead and finally get a deal over the line. Christian Norgaard to Arsenal LATEST | Transfers Exposed Burnley announced the £4.3m arrival of German U20 international Max Weiss from Karlsruher on Wednesday, paving the way for Trafford to leave. The 22-year-old was set to move to Tyneside last summer. But that scuppered when Nottingham Forest insisted on Greek goalie Odysseas Vlachodimos going to Newcastle as part of the PSR-pleasing transfer that also saw Elliot Anderson head to the City Ground. Burnley have been quoting a £40m asking price for the 22-year-old, though SunSport understands Toon chiefs are confident a £30m agreement will get it over the line. 4

Katie, from Leicester, hopes sleeping in her own bed improves her chances of success when she and Australian men's No1 Alex start their Wimbledon campaigns next week.

'It's going to be a privilege to play as the British No 1, that's what I've always wanted,' said the world No 4 at the Hurlingham Club. 'I've wanted to make Centre Court my environment. 'I'm full of excitement knowing the crowd is right behind me, that I'm going to be playing on the courts I wanted to play on since I was young, watching Andy Murray, watching all these great players. It's sinking in that I'm there now: I've got the chance to show people what I can do.' The Wimbledon draw takes place at 10am on Friday. San Diego college student Oliver Tarvet won through qualifying on Thursday to make it 23 British players in the singles draws, the most since 1984. 'A lot of British players, a lot of British talent,' said Draper. 'It is really exciting for the public to have so many good people in the draw from this country. 'It is a great opportunity for us all. I feel strong, I feel ready.' There will be 23 Brits in the singles draws, the most since 1984 - pictured, Emma Raducanu Draper won an exhibition match against Holger Rune at Hurlingham, his first outing since smashing an advertising board in defeat by Jiri Lehecka in the semi-finals at Queen's Club. He was struggling with tonsillitis that week but said: 'I've been on antibiotics, got over it. I already feel so much better. Got my energy back, that's for sure. Sometimes you don't realise how bad you were at the time.'
