With only three goals scored in Ligue 1, Elye Wahi is far from worth the 25 million euros invested in him by OM last summer. Suffice to say that the Marseille club will accept a good offer in January for this replacement. West Ham are on the case.
Great promise of French football, Elye Wahi has undoubtedly climbed the ranks a little too quickly at 22 years old. A prolific scorer at Montpellier, he struggled more at Lens last season. He had still scored 9 times in Ligue 1. However, he managed to do worse at OM this season. Wahi only scored 3 goals, mainly showing major technical shortcomings on the field. And a behavior that is not always combative enough compared to the demands of the Vélodrome. Enough to push Roberto de Zerbi to put him on the bench, in favor of Neal Maupay who was to be his understudy at the start. This is a task for a player bought for 25 million euros by Marseille last summer.
West Ham gives 30 million euros for Wahi
An industrial and financial accident which could be erased very quickly. According to ESPNWest Ham is eyeing the Olympian striker. The Hammers need a goalscorer as their summer recruit, German Niclas Fullkrug, has just suffered a new injury. A big fan of Wahi, the new manager of the London club Graham Potter has targeted him as a priority for January.
-West Ham are ready to go up to 30 million euros for Elye Wahi. A very attractive price which will have no difficulty in convincing Pablo Longoria, always motivated by the idea of making a good sale. This would also save the day in a file that has gotten very poorly in recent weeks. The Marseille president should not wait too long if the announced offer arrives on his desk. By not playing, Wahi will quickly see his rating and his price drop in 2025. But the need for Londoners to recruit quickly and hard to save themselves in the Premier League has a good chance of making OM happy.
