In search of an attacker for several days, Olympique de Marseille has encountered many refusals. Leandro Trossard left for Arsenal and Terem Moffi gives priority to Nice. The puzzle therefore continues for Pablo Longoria who would be interested in the Montpellier striker with “mbappesque” statistics, Elye Wahi.
It makes little noise but Elye Wahi could have a great career. Easily compared to Mbappe for his precocity as a goalscorer, the player born in 2003 is very popular with the OM. But his Hérault club knows it and would not consider parting with it at all this winter.
Montpellier asks for 30M€
Pablo Longoria would have ticked the box Elye Wahi. But his transfer is likely to be very difficult for several reasons. First, according to The Team, Montpellier does not intend to let his player leave for less than €30m. An offer that could seriously dampen the ambitions of the OM. Added to this is the desire by Elye Wahi to finish the season in his training club.

Mbappesque statistics
It must be said that the performance by Elye Wahi logically attract the eye of the biggest clubs and therefore of the OM. Kylian Mbappe had become the first player under 20 to score 20 goals in Ligue 1. Elye Wahi is the second. Born in 2003, he made his debut in the 2020-2021 season with Montpelier. Last year, he scored 10 goals in 33 games. With 7 goals already scored at mid-season, Elye Wahi should be one of the top scorers in Ligue 1, at only 20 years old.
