Despite a double degree in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take my dreams into my own hands by moving towards journalism. With a master’s degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration as ever for the transfer window, when a club has to make crucial choices for next season.
Having arrived at OM this summer, Elye Wahi has had a somewhat sluggish start. Recruited for €25 million, the former RC Lens centre-forward has shown himself to still be improvable in front of goal, and has already been criticised. Questioned about the star born in 2003, Bafétimbi Gomis said that Wahi could have a destiny similar to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Marseille.
Author of enormous performances with Montpellier, Elye Wahi had joined the RC Lens in 2023 for €30M. After a rather interesting but incomplete season with the Artois club, the 21-year-old player decided to give himself a new chance at OMwho will have spent €25 million to recruit him.
Complicated debut for Elye Wahi at OM
Author of one goal in three league games, Elye Wahi has already wasted some clear opportunities. While he regularly manages to create some, the star born in 2003 still lacks in the final move. While he has also been put in competition with the arrival of Neal Maupay This summer, the former RC Lens could still have a good trajectory according to the former scorer of OM Bafétimbi Gomis.
“More recently there was Aubameyang, his beginnings were difficult”
“He is still young”said the former OM (2016-2017) in the show Stephen Brunch of RMC. “There are plenty of examples on which I can advise him. There was André-Pierre Gignac, the first year it wasn’t the standards that were his. More recently there was Aubameyang, his beginnings were difficult, today, he left as a hero. So we have to be patient, it’s true that time is not necessarily given to OM, but I know that he is surrounded by a great coach and by great leaders, who trust him, who were not afraid to invest in him. He is a player who continues his development, he left Montpellier for Lens, he discovered European evenings, and he is going to one of the biggest French clubs”.
