Recruited this summer by OM for 25 million euros and bonuses, Elye Wahi is not satisfactory at the moment. But the Marseille leaders, starting with Roberto De Zerbi, are not worried. The Wahi plan is in motion.

Elye Wahi's performances have been analyzed in each match since his arrival at OM. With a transfer worth 25 million euros, which could rise to 30 million euros depending on the bonuses agreed with RC Lens, the French striker is expected around the corner. And with two goals and an assist, for the moment, the accounts are not good for young Wahi…
De Zerbi bets big on Wahi
If concern is growing among the supporters, with the fear of having been completely mistaken about its value, this is not at all the case among the leaders. OM are certain of the talent of their attacker, starting with Roberto De Zerbi, who pushed for his transfer and who considers him a real talent. After three months of competition, there is no fire. Elye Wahi still has time to settle into his new role and become someone in Marseille.
No emergency
Unlike previous seasons, OM wants to give itself time. Time to build and install a project. Of course, the pressure for results is still there, as evidenced by the anger of the fans after the defeats against Strasbourg and Paris, and the draw against Angers. But Roberto De Zerbi signed for three years and has the full confidence of his leaders. Elye Wahi still has plenty of room to make his mark and express his potential. OM's plan is in place and nothing can change it. For now.
