Now this is embarrassing! The former Southampton loanee decided to get himself a tattoo to celebrate Feyenoord's victory in the KNVB Cup over FC Utrecht last month.
However, it didn't turn out how he had wanted... His team name was mis-spelt and the date was also wrong.
Elia uploaded a picture to social media, that quickly got removed and then updated with the corrected tattoo!
