OM thought they had made an XXL coup last summer by paying for the services of Elye Wahi. But now, the French striker does not meet expectations at all.
Elye Wahi reached a milestone by joining OM last summer during the transfer market. The French striker had strong ambitions, just like the Phocaeans. Roberto De Zerbi wants to be able to count on a reliable player at the highest level. But now, nothing is going as planned for the former RC Lens, now demoted in the hierarchy of attackers, behind Neal Maupay. It is even said that a departure this winter is being considered for Elye Wahi. Fortunately for him, he will not lack suitors, even if his ambition is certainly to win at OM. In any case, a Ligue 1 club recently tried to repatriate him.
Wahi back on loan at Montpellier, OM surprised
According to information from ProvenceMontpellier is indeed keen to loan Wahi, who knows the club and the context well. However, there is little chance that the dream of the Héraultais, last in Ligue 1, will come true. OM will certainly not want to part with Wahi on loan and favors a sale or a loan with a compulsory purchase option. The Phocaeans want to recoup their investment, having invested nearly 30 million euros to secure the services of the 21-year-old player. In 12 matches played with the Phocéens this season, Elye Wahi has only scored 2 goals for 1 assist delivered. Starving for a player who aspires to be a potential starter. He will therefore have to get back to work and seize his chance when De Zerbi calls on him. It will not be against LOSC, the French player being injured and therefore forfeited for this clash at the Stade Vélodrome.
