Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says he wants new signing Anthony Elanga to be the latest young player to become an “asset” to the club.<\/p>\n

Elanga made his first appearance for the club after his \u00a315m move from Manchester United in Thursday night\u2019s 2-0 pre-season defeat to Leeds United. “He’s double quick,” Cooper told BBC Radio Nottingham.<\/p>\n

“We saw a lot of things last year in the Premier League that you need to be and that is athleticism and pace so he certainly has that.”<\/p>\n

Forest broke a Premier League record last summer by signing 21 players in a single transfer window, and Cooper wants more additions this year – with a similar profile to the 21-year-old Sweden international.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully the other players we bring in\u2013 because we need other players that’s for sure \u2014 will be of equal athleticism,” he added.<\/p>\n

“You always want young players in your squad that can become an asset to the club while having an impact on a short-term basis.<\/p>\n

“We hope Anthony can become the next example of that after the likes of Morgan (Gibbs-White), Brennan (Johnson), Neco (Williams), Danilo – so that’s the aim of course.<\/p>\n

“We want him to have a short-term impact in what we do but we also know there’s still a lot of development to do and a lot of potential that he’ll need to work hard to fulfil as well. “But, I’m pretty sure that will be the case.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll continue to get stronger in terms of our minutes and preparation. We need that. It\u2019s clear that for us to do better in the Premier League we need a better team and a stronger squad than last year. We are still trying to work towards that.”<\/p>\n
