Anthony Elanga, a player for Nottingham Forest, has boldly declared his own abilities. The winger for the Reds left Manchester United in the summer and joined the team.
The Daily Mail has interviewed Elanga ahead of this weekend’s trip to Liverpool. He was asked to select various elements from various players in order to create the ideal football player.
Elanga was asked to pick a player to fit the pace criteria. He chose himself after choosing the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Virgil van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo for some of the other options.
Forest star Elanga backs his own speed ability
Everyone loves a confident player. As a result, there is no harm in Elanga choosing himself ahead of several other players in the world who would fancy themselves in a foot race.
Elanga has showcased his blistering pace during his short time at Forest. The player signed from United for £15 million and it’s quite evident that he has pace to burn.
On Saturday he set up two goals for Chris Wood during a 2-2 draw against Luton Town. Elanga is always keen to put defenders on the back foot and ultimately, Forest have got themselves a quality player.
How quick is Anthony Elanga?
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 confidencen.
