Elanga recently played a crucial role in Sweden's World Cup qualifying match against Hungary, helping his team secure a win. After the match, he was asked about the rumors surrounding a possible transfer to Newcastle United.

When questioned about the rumors, Elanga chose to focus on the present and not get distracted by speculation. He emphasized the importance of staying focused on what he can control, rather than getting caught up in the many rumors that often surround football players.

Elanga's current contract with Nottingham Forest is set to expire in 2028, giving him a significant amount of time to continue playing for the club and contributing to their success.
