OM officially counts on Elye Wahi. Pablo Longoria, Roberto De Zerbi, all are in tune with the former Montpellier and ephemeral Lensois, always full of promise despite a minimalist performance for the time being: three goals in 14 appearances including seven starts.

Obviously, there are many expectations for a player poached this summer for 25 million euros, plus five million bonuses. A 22-year-old international hopeful who has certainly lost momentum since his departure from the MHSC in 2023. But a young offensive player who remains popular on the transfer market.

25 million on the table?

Proof of this is the offer revealed by L’Equipe this Monday, from England. Faced with yet another injury to its striker Niclas Füllkrug, the West Ham club would see in Elye Wahi a good alternative for the upcoming deadlines. To the point of being ready, according to the sports daily, to also bet 25 million euros.

To do this, however, the Hammers want a six-month loan, even if it means adding a compulsory purchase option. To see if this possibility is acceptable for OM, who are preparing to sell the young Enzo Sternal to Anderlecht and would find themselves somewhat deprived on the offensive level in the event of an agreement with the Londoners for Elye Wahi.

One certainty: Pablo Longoria does not intend to rush while the winter transfer window is still long and discussions are barely beginning. Bournemouth, another Premier League club, would also be interested in the Paris region striker. “Wait and see”…
