Harry Maguire on Anthony Elanga’s breakthrough: “That’s what this club is about and what it’s been about for numerous years now, we bring through young talent and people get opportunities.”
“Anthony [Elanga] has broken into the team in the last couple of games and he’s done really well and should be really proud of himself. You’ve obviously got Marcus, who is established, and Mason, who is growing and growing and getting better and better.”
“It’s what this club is about, it brings through talented footballers and if you’re talented enough then you’ll get an opportunity to play and that’s what happened with Anthony [Elanga].”
“It’s important [leading by example]. Over the last few years, with Mason [for example], I’ve spoken with him a lot. He’s matured a lot off the pitch and you can see that on it, with his performances.”
“The same with Anthony [Elanga]. Sometimes, when you’re a young boy, you can feel like the opportunity to start a game is far away then, all of a sudden, things change and you get your opportunity and you’ve got to be ready to take it.”
“Anthony [Elanga] has done that really well and he should be proud of himself and I’m sure his family is really proud. Now it’s a marker and a stepping stone and can he really kick on? He has all the talent in the world to do that.”
“Of course, myself and the senior lads will be pushing him [Elanga] and others, and that’s what we want – we want these young players to come in and bring energy and intensity, and help improve us as a squad.”
