Elijah initially expressed his thoughts on the transfer, describing Ahoka as a player whose talents are yet to be fully assessed. He went on to discuss the role Ahoka would likely play for Sunderland, as well as the reception he received from Royal Antwerp fans. Elijah also shared his opinion on whether Ahoka has the potential to reach the top level of the sport, comparing him to several Premier League players in the process.
