Elye Wahi is not leaving. At least this is the testimony that Pablo Longoria gave at a press conference recently. And now ? A change of scenery for the 22-year-old French striker in difficulty at OM cannot be ruled out. So much so that in England, he would already have a ready base in West Ham. Coach Graham Potter still needs to agree to shake up his squad this winter.
“A departure from Wahi for us is out of the question. We believe a lot in Elye’s potential.” At a press conference, Pablo Longoria had been intractable regarding the file Elye Wahi (22 years old). Since his arrival from RC Lens last offseason, Place went from starter to understudy Neal Maupay – The Best Of Neal Maupay. So much so that despite the words of the president of OM, we would no longer rule out a hypothetical departure of the €30M recruit by the end of the winter transfer window.
West Ham thinking about Elye Wahi
And besides, it seems thatElye Wahi turns a few heads on the other side of the Channel. Even before his transfer from Montpellier au RC Lens in the summer of 2023, Premier League teams like Chelsea or even Arsenal were mentioned among the clubs interested in the profile of the French international hopeful. Now it would be Bournemouth and of West Ham among others according to The Team. The Hammers are once again deprived of Niclas Füllkruginjured in the hamstring during the 32nd final of the FA Cup lost by West Ham against Aston Villa last Friday (2-1). Enough to push the London management to offer a new attacker to Graham Potter which recently replaced Julen Lopetegui on the bench Hammers ?
“There is a certain form of logic to doing something”
During a press briefing, Graham Potter did not wish to spill the beans, but still took care to take stock of the attacker's situation to West Ham this winter. « With Füllkrug's injury, is recruiting a striker imperative this month? I wouldn't say imperative, but with the absentees, there is a certain form of logic to do something. But it's not that simple. I don't want to make the wrong decision or do something just for form just because we need it and especially during this very complicated transfer window. But we have offensive options and players are coming back (injury note) so my focus at the moment is on the team and how to make it work as best as possible and with the desire to be competitive and try to win against Fulham. It remains to be seen whether theABOUT will receive an offer of West Ham pour Elye Wahi.
