NEWCASTLE fans reckon Anthony Elanga is on his way to St James’ Park after spotting his cryptic nine-word message.
Elanga fuelled the rumour mill while congratulating Toon star William Osula on his two goals for Denmark at the under-21 Euros.

Osula was named in the starting XI and guided Denmark to a 2-1 comeback win over the Netherlands to advance to the quarter-finals.
Alongside images from the win, Osula wrote on Sunday: “Two goals. GODS work. Through to quarter final.”
Osula received some interesting replies, with Toon teammate Joe Willock writing: “This is what we spoke about .. Gods work.”
But the most intriguing comment came from Newcastle target Elanga, who is close pals with Osula.
The former Manchester United winger wrote: “Not gonna say too much … keep going ma boy.”
Newcastle are interested in signing Elanga, as Eddie Howe aims to add a new right winger to his squad.
But the 23-year-old’s price tag could be an issue, with Newcastle valuing him at £35million, while Forest want more than £50million.
Toon fans will hope that Elanga’s relationship with Osula can tempt the Swede to Tyneside.

Elanga also messaged Osula after his goal against Ukraine and now he has done it again following the 21-year-old’s latest achievement.
The two struck up a friendship after both being represented by talent agency CAA Stellar.
That is the same company that represents Toon goalkeeper Nick Pope and other Newcastle transfer target James Trafford.
Howe’s side were linked with a move for Elanga last summer, after signing Osula from Sheffield United for £15million.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are eyeing replacements on the other flank in case Anthony Gordon leaves this summer.
SunSport exclusively revealed that Liverpool are weighing up a £100million move for the England star.
Boyhood Liverpool fan Gordon moved to St James’ Park from Everton for £45m in January 2024.
He even signed a new contract last October, notching six goals and five assists in the Prem in the 2024/2025 season.
