Dejan Kulusevski, a star for Tottenham, has given Nottingham Forest forward Anthony Elanga a lot of praise. One of the Swedish players that the Reds player plays with has some nice things to say about him.
Elanga committed to Forest in the 2023 summer. Despite only costing the club £15 million, he is already delivering, outscoring and providing more assists than his former Old Trafford teammates.
He received another start for the team on Sunday. He contributed to Forest’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at the City Ground, snapping a six-game losing streak.
Kulusevski praises Elanga greatly; The Tottenham player was recently asked to select one player from his club and one from his country who he believed would be future stars during a questioning session about future prospects.

Kulusevski chose Forest forward Elanga from Sweden because he has faith in the 21-year-old.
Speaking at the FC Futures launch, the Tottenham star expressed his belief in the potential of every player, but when pressed to choose one, he singled out Anthony Elanga as a player with a very promising future.
Now, with Callum Hudson-Odoi sidelined due to injury, Elanga has a significant role to play for Forest. Since Hudson-Odoi’s injury, Elanga has been a regular starter and has been showing continuous improvement.
Although Elanga, like many young talents, still has areas to refine in his game, he’s putting in the hard work. In a recent match against Aston Villa, he demonstrated his ability to trouble opponents.
Forest made some shrewd signings during the summer, and Elanga is a prime example of a player who aligns with Steve Cooper’s vision for the team. He’s a talented player with room for growth, and his acquisition didn’t come with an exorbitant price tag.
