This week was a tough one for Nottingham Forest, who were docked four points for breaching PSR rules, pushing them into the relegation zone.
That means Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have a tough few weeks ahead of them if they want to avoid the drop to the Championship, which Anthony Elanga will be a part of.
With the Sweden national team on this international break, the winger sat down with Fotbollskanalen, and spoke about Nottingham Forest’s situation.
The outlet say the player is ‘saddened’ by the news his team have had those points taken off their tally.
He added: “It’s hard to take, but what can we do? It’s not something we can control. It is the Premier League that does it. What we can do is just focus on each games because now we have nine finals.
“It’s quite messy. It happened with Everton too, but we just have to focus on winning every game. We are only one point behind Luton so we can still stay up. I believe in the team.”
Since joining Nottingham Forest in the summer from Manchester United, the forward has had a good impact on the City Ground side, with five goals and seven assists in 28 appearances in the Premier League.
Elanga is said to be satisfied with his playing time, and feels he is having his ‘best season so far’ of his career, wanting to just keep on developing.
In fact, the 21-year-old is ‘delighted’ that Nottingham Forest spent the money on him, and is keen to show exactly why they wanted him.
