Chelsea in talks for €30m striker, Elye Wahi

 

Interestingly, Chelsea are already in talks for Montpellier striker Elye Wahi, according to reports in France, and will send their first official offer for the promising attacker before the end of the week.

 

 

 

The Blues have made a habit of targeting Europe’s finest young talent in the transfer market over the course of the last year, and Wahl is an attainable player.

 

 

 

 

The 20-year-old has just a year to run on his contract with Montpellier and is coming off a season in which he scored 19 goals in Ligue 1, including a spectacular overhead that won the Goal of the Season award.

Indeed, Wahi’s potential is underlined by the fact that he reached 20 top-flight goals in France quicker than the likes of Karim Benzema and Thierry Henry, with only Kylian Mbappe quicker than him to this figure.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has had limited opportunity to see Wahi live, despite his time in France with PSG. The striker played just 33 minutes of action against the Parisians across four matches when the Argentine was at Parc des Princes.
