Newcastle United left it late to complete a double sale with two of their Premier League rivals.
It is understood that Newcastle had to sell players by June 30 in order to comply with Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules while also giving Eddie Howe funds to spend this summer. Failing to do so would have resulted in punishment from the Premier League and a potential points deduction.
As a result, Yankuba Minteh has joined Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth around £33million and Elliot Anderson has joined Nottingham Forest for a reported £35million, a joint club record sale.
Minteh’s departure comes just over a year after the 19-year-old joined Newcastle from Odense for under £7million.
