Only 20 years old and already a season with 19 goals in Ligue 1. Elye Wahi amply demonstrated last season that he kept the promises glimpsed during previous exercises. Yes, the attacker has all the weapons to annoy any defense, and to attract any courtier. From the start of the transfer window, his name was cited in England in particular, with Arsenal and Newcastle listed among those interested.
But in recent days, another scenario has taken shape. We revealed to you that Chelsea had embarked on the battle, with the aim of recruiting the French striker to better loan him to their new partner club, Racing Club de Strasbourg! And according to our information, this option takes on a little more weight every day. Discussions are progressing well and Chelsea hope to complete the file within the week.
Wahi still in Ligue 1?
The new owner of Strasbourg, the American consortium BlueCo, which also owns Chelsea, would thus play the card of an additional season in Ligue 1, before joining the Blues. The Alsatian club had finished behind Montpellier in the standings last year, but the new ambitions, embodied by the arrival of Patrick Vieira on the bench, change the situation.
It will however be necessary to be wary, because other clubs are still in the dance, in particular in Italy and more precisely on the side of Milan where Inter always believes in its chances… The future of Wahi should, in any case, take quickly a new twist. It remains to be seen whether the L1 will still benefit from the talent of the young 20-year-old striker.
