In great difficulty during his first 6 months at Olympique de Marseille, Elye Wahi continues to fuel the debates.
It has become a habit:Marseille Olympic will still be very active on the transfer market. Last summer, the Marseille club was already omnipresent in the transfer window, recording more than 40 operations, departures and arrivals combined.
In terms of arrivals, the purchase of Elye Wahi was very noticed. Recruited for 30 million euros from Racing Club de Lens, the French international Espoir arrived in Marseille with the label of flagship recruit. Promises that he is struggling to keep, with a very mixed record over his first 6 months.
OM made a strong choice for Wahi
In recent days, Wahi’s name has been mentioned in speculation about the winter transfer window. But Mehdi Benatia assures him: OM is counting on its attacker. “Playing at the Vélodrome as an opponent is magnificent. I loved these contexts, going to play in Naples for example. For the young players who have arrived, it’s harder. Let’s take the example of Wahi, who had 3 big chances against Reims and came out under the whistles. We invested in him. He has references. We wanted to relaunch the thing. He has a lot of qualities.”
“We don’t get the best reception when we whistle it at the Vélodrome, continued the Moroccan leader on RMC. He’s still a young man. I felt a real desire for him to come. Of course (that he will stay), he is there. It’s up to us to help him. He has the qualities to succeed here, you just have to believe in it and give him the time he needs. It’s up to him too to go and find it”.
