Anthony Elanga is reportedly of interest to RB Leipzig, with the club said to be holding talks with Manchester United over a possible move for the winger.

Manchester United's Anthony Elanga has reportedly been targeted by German side RB Leipzig.

As part of the Red Bull empire, Leipzig, along with Swiss partners Red Bull Salzburg, have become notorious for signing young players across Europe.

Therefore, 21-year-old Elanga could be the next to arrive, with Benjamin Sesko already on his way to the club from Salzburg this summer.

Journalist Florian Plettenberg claims that Manchester United are willing to let Elanga leave, and talks have taken place between them and Leipzig.

Man United will look for a fee of around €15-20m (£13-17m) to let Elanga depart Old Trafford, but talks between the two clubs are not yet in the advanced stage, and other clubs remain interested, according to Plettenberg.

Everton looked set to secure a loan deal for the Swedish winger in January, but manager Erik ten Hag reportedly pulled the plug over fears he would struggle with the atmosphere around the club.

Despite Sesko's arrival, Christopher Nkunku will leave for Chelsea, and Dominik Szoboszlai has been heavily linked with a move away, so Leipzig are on the hunt for further attacking reinforcements.
