Recruited for €30M from RC Lens this summer, Elye Wahi has continued to disappoint. And for good reason, the striker has only scored two goals since the start of the season, including one from the penalty spot.

Looking for a new number 9 after the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangl’ABOUT did not hesitate to drop €30M, including bonus, to recruit Elye Wahi who presented himself as the indisputable starter until the injury of Faris Moumbagna which forced the Marseille club to recruit a new attacker, namely Neal Maupay – The Best Of Neal Maupay.

« I think he won a lot of points tonight (Sunday). He makes a teammate match, a number 9 who can connect with others. He already scores a goal. When you are number 9, you are asked to be decisive and he was. And afterwards, with his back to the game, I find that facing a client like (Nicolas) Palois, he was very solid on his supports, managed to rezone, to take the Nantes defense a little higher so that certain players could incorporate in this area. I really liked Neal Maupay's match. (…) In the overall palette of a No. 9, Neal Maupay showed that he was relevant for the game of Olympique de Marseille », Estimates for his part the journalist of DAZN.
