OM has often been a producer of French internationals in recent seasons, and Elye Wahi wants to perpetuate this legacy. In an interview with Parisian This Sunday, a close friend of the player returned to his choice to join the Marseille club this summer, only one year after signing for Lens. While he explains this decision by the “irrefutable” side of a club of this size, he also mentions the prospect of integrating the France group in the long term, an objective more achievable in a club as observed as OM.
“When he learned that OM was interested, his first sentence was: We’re stopping everything, OM is not something you can refuse. He only wanted to go there and followed the discussions to find out if it would happen. Today, he is really very happy.explains a close friend of Wahi. He wants to make his mark in France. Today, he is an international Espoir (2 selections), but he is aiming for selection. In Marseille, he wants to show that he is capable of doing better than in Lens, but he is also aware that he has no right to make a mistake“It’s up to him to follow in the footsteps of William Saliba and Matteo Guendouzi, who became internationals under the colours of OM.
