The countdown has started for RC Lens in its quest for the famous number 9. After the failure of the Akpom file, the artesian club went back to hunting for “Grantatakan”. As we revealed to you this Thursday, Elye Wahi is in a good position to become Lois Openda’s replacement at the head of the RCL. But like all high-level strikers, the international hopeful tricolor striker with 19 goals in L1 is very courted whether on the side of West Ham or on the side of Eintracht Frankfurt who even submitted a first offer refused for the player .
The absence of Wahi in the Montpellier group which will go to challenge Lyon on Saturday evening says a lot about the imminence of the player’s departure. It remains to be seen who will win the bet. Faced with so much uncertainty and to avoid finding themselves without a solution, the Northern club, qualified for the group stage of the Champions League, must increase its chances of finding the right recruit. As we mentioned a few hours ago, a second track towards Hugo Ekitike was dug in parallel with the one leading to Elye Wahi. It has warmed up especially in recent hours but does not seem easier to finalize than the one leading to the MHSC striker.
Elye Wahi approaches RC Lens
According to our information, Grégory Thil and his team are advancing in parallel on the track leading to the Parisian striker. The former Rémois, after a first season of adaptation, is ready to fight for playing time in the capital. But the arrival of a new striker in the coming days (Randal Kolo Muani) should reduce his hopes of shining at PSG. Therefore, a departure seems more and more inevitable for Ekitike. A situation therefore always complex for RC Lens. Nevertheless, we are able to tell you that the solution to Lensois recruitment problems could come… from Elye Wahi directly.
At the time of writing these lines, the player, who was initially attracted to the idea of joining West Ham, has not yet obtained the necessary guarantees on the project and real proof of a firm offer to come from the London club. Which is not the case with Lens, which has shown more guarantees and certainties. Wahi is now very keen on the idea of joining Lens and its Champions League project. Now, the ball is in the court of RC Lens who will have to quickly put on the table the amount requested by the MHSC because if discussions have taken place between the parties, for the moment, there have been no written proposals. . According to our information, the Sang et Or are ready to put more than 30 million euros on the table to snatch the international hopeful tricolor striker. But beware, Frankfurt (which has already submitted a first offer refused by Montpellier) and West Ham, may not have said their last word.
