Ahead of this weekend’s trip to Liverpool, Elanga has been quizzed by the Daily Mail. He was asked to choose several different components from a number of players to make the perfect footballer.
Elanga was tasked with selecting a player who met the pace requirement. He chose himself after considering Kylian Mbappe, Virgil van Dijk, and Cristiano Ronaldo as other candidates.
Elanga, a forest star, believes in his own speed.
Everyone admires a self-assured player. As a result, there’s no danger in Elanga picking himself ahead of several other players around the world who could fancy themselves in a footrace.
During his brief time at Forest, Elanga has demonstrated his scorching pace. The player joined from Manchester United for £15 million, and it’s clear that he has pace to burn.
On Saturday, he assisted two goals for Chris Wood in a 2-2 draw with Luton Town. Elanga is always looking to put defenders on the back foot, and in the end, Forest has acquired a terrific player.
Last season, Brennan Johnson was confirmed as the second-quickest player in the Premier League behind Kyle Walker. Now, he’s gone to Tottenham and Forest have to fill that void.
With Elanga arriving, they couldn’t have picked a much better replacement. Give Me Sport showcases that Elanga has clocked one of the two quickest speeds in the Premier League this season.
The challenge for the 21-year-old is to strive for consistency this season With Callum Hudson-Odoi now sidelined for a while, he should get a continued run in the team and that should do wonders for his confidence.
