Anthony Elanga's eyes light up.

The Newcastle United forward is talking about the inordinate amount of time he spends in his "man cave".

But you won't find a game console, stocked fridge or pool table in there.

This is Elanga's recovery room.

"My partner won't be too happy about it," he said. "But she knows and appreciates it a lot.

"It's that extra 1% I'm always trying to find. That will pay off. I've always told myself that."

So much so, after completing his £55m move from Nottingham Forest last summer, and finding a home in the North East, Elanga set about kitting out his new house with a gym, hyperbaric chamber, red light therapy bed, sauna, plunge pool and, even, a 3G football pitch.
