Speaking last year, Elanga declared that he was desperate to follow in the footsteps of Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford.
He said: "You look at the likes of Mason and Rashy, there is a pathway there.
"It just shows you that if you're willing to put the work into it and continue to work hard day in, day out in training there's a pathway for you there.
"Obviously we've got a manager in Ole trusting the youngsters, so there's a pathway there and I've just got to keep working hard.
"In training I'm always working hard and the way that I train is the way that I play.
"You can see that in the results and I'm just happy at the moment, I'm enjoying my football."
