At a time when Elye Wahi is attracting envy, OM’s interest in Evann Guessand is coming to light. Enough to envisage a big change in the Marseille offensive sector for the months to come.

Flagship recruit from Olympique de Marseille for 25 million euros for the number nine position last summer, Elye Wahi is struggling to convince in the Marseille city. A starter at the start, the former Lens player is now Neal Maupay’s understudy, and there is nothing to say that he will manage to reverse the situation in the weeks to come. For this, the French international hopeful would have to remain at OM, and a real doubt remains at this level. And for good reason, Bournemouth and West Ham are very interested in the idea of relaunching Elye Wahi from January even if to convince Marseille to sell him, it will be necessary to at least pay the 25 million euros invested by the Olympian club. last summer. If Wahi leaves, whether this winter or next summer, it seems that Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia already have a very good idea in mind to replace him.

According to insider Marwan Belckacem on X, Olympique de Marseille is very interested in Evann Guessand and this is not new. “If Elye Wahi leaves, I propose Evan Guessand if I have to move into L1. Nice has the taps cut off, INEOS no longer wants to invest and the little one is tearing everything up at the moment. Knows L1, great potential, great profile. He was already in OM’s little papers last summer. We didn’t rush into it but it took on a whole new dimension. The only problem: it is much more expensive, especially in winter when Nice would like to count on it until June I think” indicated the specialist from Olympique de Marseille. It is clear that to dislodge Evann Guessand from Nice, it is no longer the same story since the 23-year-old striker is a key piece of Franck Haise at the Aiglons. As efficient up front as on one side, Evann Guessand has scored 7 goals and delivered 4 assists since the start of the season in Ligue 1 1. A much more flattering record compared to that of Elye Wahi.
