Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce has raved about Anthony Elanga ahead of tonight’s game against Fulham.
The club added Elanga to their ranks in the summer, with the winger costing £15 million from Manchester United.
Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce has raved about Anthony Elanga ahead of tonight’s game against Fulham.
The club added Elanga to their ranks in the summer, with the winger costing £15 million from Manchester United.
He told The Express: “Elanga has impressed me the most. Forest’s away form was really poor last year and I think the pace they’ve brought into the squad with him and Hudson-Odoi has offered them a counter-attack threat, especially on the road.”
Elanga will hope to keep his place in the team for tonight’s trip to Fulham as Forest aim to end a run of three successive defeats.
Elanga can become Forest star
There was nothing wrong with Elanga during his time with Manchester United, except he hardly ever played.
Given United’s current predicament, he might have got more game time but instead, he chose to move to Forest.
Elanga has pace to burn defenders and he’s proved an extremely useful player going forward this season.
Forest need other players to stand up and be counted in the sort of fashion that Elanga has in recent months.
Pearce is right to laud the player for his efforts and hopefully, Elanga can lead Forest to a big victory tonight.
