To compensate for the departure of Loïs Openda to RB Leipzig, RC Lens has been working for several days to find him a successor and finally seems to have found the lucky one. Elye Wahi will disembark.
Although he only stayed one season at Racing Club de Lens, Loïs Openda quickly made himself indispensable in attack. Author of twenty-one goals in thirty-eight Ligue 1 games, the Belgian offensive took advantage of his performances to seduce RB Leipzig and take to their heels this summer. Lensois recruiters have since been hard at work finding a replacement for him. It should be Elye Wahi.
According to information from RMC, the Montpellier striker would have estimated that the project proposed by the Sang et Or was the most likely to correspond to his career plan. Yet closely followed by Eintracht Frankfurt and West Ham, the international Espoirs tricolor should therefore land very quickly in the North.
€35 million
The contract that awaits Elye Wahi will be for a period of five years, while the cost of the transfer is estimated at some thirty-five million euros, bonus included. An amount that proves the confidence placed in the Hérault player by the Lensois leaders, but also the hopes that are placed in him.
If his signature is confirmed, Wahi will play in the Champions League for the first time in his young career with his new club. Twenty years old, the striker remains on a good season with nineteen goals and six assists on the counter, in thirty-three league games.
