Sotoca’s lovely words for Wahi!
For him, the native of Courcouronnes performed very well last year: “He's a good kid, a good kid, with a good state of mind and great potential. I hope he has a career that matches his talent, he has a lot of it. We were delighted to have him with us. Once the Champions League started, with this important goal against Arsenal, it was better. In a locker room, he's a pleasant, adorable person, even if he has a bit of a crazy side, we can't help but love him. He had the pressure of his first big transfer. In Marseille, it did a bit of the same thing” he explained in comments reported by La Voix du Nord before nevertheless warning him of his return: “He has all the qualities to succeed at a high level. He has time to prove. We'll say hello to him after the match. If we have to give him two or three blows, we won't deprive ourselves of it” he confided, laughing.
The blood and gold number 7 is in any case convinced that his former teammate will succeed on the banks of the Canebière: “I followed a lot of OM matches, he had complicated moments, good moments too. It was quite irregular, it's part of the learning process. He is a very young player in the making, with a lot of potential. We hope we see him after our match. There is a lot of competition at OM. These last few matches, he hasn't started.“
