He arrived this summer after an already lively start to his career: Elye Wahi will be one of the most anticipated summer reinforcements on the Olympique de Marseille side. After making a spectacular entrance into the professional football landscape under the colours of Montpellier, his training club, the French Espoir international did not live up to the expectations placed on him during his season at Lens.
After just one year in the North of France, the striker returned to the shores of the Mediterranean by signing with Olympique de Marseille this summer. And according to his entourage, he didn’t hesitate at all.
“When he learned that OM was interested…”
A close friend of Elye Wahi made a little confession on this matter. “When he learned that OM were 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.”explained a close friend of the attacker in the columns of the daily newspaper Le Parisien this Sunday.
Highly ambitious, Elye Wahi intends to make his mark in one of the two most popular clubs in the country. He was also courted in England.
