Stan Collymore Hails £34m Nottingham Forest Star, Claims He’s Better Than Anthony Elanga
Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has sparked fresh gist in the Premier League after showering praise on Nottingham Forest’s £34m summer signing, claiming he is better than Anthony Elanga.
Collymore, who never shies away from strong football opinions, believes Forest’s big-money star has the potential to become a crucial figure at the City Ground, surpassing the impact of ex-Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga.
While Elanga has been one of Forest’s standout performers since joining from United, Collymore argues that the £34m man possesses superior technical ability, creativity, and consistency. Speaking to fans, he described the player as someone who can “change the dynamics of a game with his intelligence and sharpness.”
The comments have triggered debates among Forest supporters, with some backing Collymore’s analysis and others defending Elanga’s pace and work rate. Regardless, the £34m signing is already showing glimpses of why the club invested heavily in him.
With Nottingham Forest aiming to push further up the Premier League table this season, the growing competition between Elanga and the club’s record signing could be a healthy battle that drives both players to greater heights.
