Anthony Elanga's recovery room is no ordinary man cave. The Newcastle United forward has transformed part of his new home into a state-of-the-art fitness facility, complete with a hyperbaric chamber, red light therapy bed, and even a 3G football pitch.

Since joining from Nottingham Forest in a £55m summer transfer, Elanga has made 34 appearances for the Magpies. While he hasn't replicated his 19-goal involvement from last season, the 23-year-old recently delivered his best performance in a 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur.

Elanga's life has changed dramatically off the pitch too. The Swedish international became a father for the first time, welcoming daughter Blair into the world. He describes fatherhood as "the best feeling ever" and is embracing life in Newcastle, where his daughter will grow up with a Geordie accent. Despite adapting to Eddie Howe's demanding system and intense fixture schedule, Elanga remains committed to improving and contributing to Newcastle's pursuit of success across multiple competitions.
