Elye Wahi occupies the ground. We are not talking about the green rectangle, but the media terrain. Indeed, French has been talked about a lot about him in recent days. It all started on March 10 with a polemical like on a publication by Tom Pouilly (“Wesh then my quiet race or what?” Proud of this group.) After the victory of the Lens Racing Club against Olympique de Marseille. Two clubs in which the MHSC former has played. His gesture was therefore not at all appreciated by the Phocaean supporters, knowing that the attacker still wore the colors of OM a few weeks ago. Two days later, he spoke during an interview given to The teampublished in the middle of the Champions League evening. Which was perhaps not the best timing to be heard.
The 2003 footballer said: “I'm going to tell you frankly, I was a little disappointed. I didn't think it was going to finish quickly like that. When you arrive in a club, you don't want to leave after six months. We had to consider something else very quickly. We tried to find the best solution. For me, it was to come to Frankfurt. It is the life of the big clubs. You have to show immediately. Unfortunately, they did not give me my chance, but it does not matter. Now I want to take the time it takes to evolve little by little. ” Yesterday, Wahi was talked about again since he Bild And Kicker announced that he was injured in the knee. A real 22 -year -old player for a season, the season of which could end earlier than expected.
He has not yet forgotten Marmoush
Especially since he has experienced the first delicate steps in Germany. For the moment, it has been used on 6 times all competitions, including 1 time as a holder (169 minutes played in total with Frankfurt, 1 time on the bench without entering). Regarding his statistics line, he is silent for the moment (0 goal and assist). Beyond the figures, he did not really impress during his appearances on the meadow, nor impacted the game of his family. It must also be remembered that it is in an adaptation phase. Moreover, the sports director of Eintracht Frankfurt, Markus Krösche, stole his rescue by declaring that he must give him time and that he has the capacity to succeed. But he has not yet convinced everyone.
In Germany, his case is talked about. Kicker wrote about it: “When Eintracht Frankfurt recruited striker Elye Wahi from Marseille in January, only one day after sold Omar Marmoush to Manchester City, it seemed to be a strong declaration. There had already been an interest in Wahi in the summer of 2023, so this transfer was not a quick solution for 20 million euros. But two months later, the disillusionment is great. The Frenchman has not yet met expectations, has not shown the necessary bite – and is now likely to be absent for several weeks due to a knee injury. The club has not announced a precise diagnosis, but internally, they expect a forced break for several weeks. ”
Concerns about it across the Rhine
The German publication continues: “From the outside, the question arises whether Wahi can still be a factor in the Eintracht game this season. He would probably not have played Bochum even without a knee injury. All the actors involved were aware that Marmoush could not be replaced individually. We did not expect Wahi to completely follow the traces left by the Egyptian. But so far, it seems that a sparrow follows the traces of an elephant (…) After two months, it is obviously still too early to make a final assessment of the transfer, but Wahi will have to give itself to dispel the doubts about its signature. ” Fussball News Go in the same direction.
“After disappointing beginnings, Wahi must take a break due to knee problems. These complaints, who have already forced him to watch the match against the VFL Bochum, seem to be worse, according to Bild. The 22 -year -old should be absent for two to four weeks (…) It should also be noted that Wahi has had little influence on the Eintracht game so far. The striker, who was signed by Olympique de Marseille for more than 20 million euros, has only made six appearances so far and has not marked. The role of replacement for Marmoush has aroused great expectations for the talented attacker, which he has not been able to satisfy so far for various reasons. ” Journalist for Fussball TransfersTobias Feldhoff tells us about it. “In Frankfurt, they are not really satisfied with him. But in public, they say they are patient and fully believe in him and in his process. Finally, they will give him a little time. ” Hoping that he follows the steps of his compatriot Hugo Ekitike, who is exploding in Frankfurt.
