Meschak Elia Lina (born 6 August 1997) is a Congolese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Swiss Super League club Young Boys and the DR Congo national team. He received the best player award after him and his team's win in the 2016 African Nations Championship.
Club career
In July 2019 it was announced that Elia would sign for Belgian First Division A club Anderlecht. He, however, disappeared and allegedly falsified his year of birth, which resulted in a 12-month ban by the Congolese Association Football Federation. In February 2020, FIFA "provisionally cleared" Elia to play again and he signed for Swiss Super League side BSC Young Boys.
