The latter striker, who bagged an impressive 19 goals and five assists in 33 Ligue 1 appearances last campaign, has “recently held talks with representatives of Tottenham Hotspur” over signing for the club.

The outcome of this meeting with Spurs chiefs is undisclosed, but if they were to step up their talks, there is reason to believe he would be an exceptional capture.

How talented is Elye Wahi?

According to WhoScored, Wahi was among Montpellier’s top scorers in terms of efforts on goal, important passes made, and successful take-ons in the final third.

His performance over the last year has gained him plaudits from the media, including journalist Andrés Onrubia Ramos, who dubbed him a “real beast” and predicted Wahi will “explode.”

“Elye Wahi, 2003.” If he can refine his definition, we will have a striker capable of scoring more than ten goals per season,” Ramos remarked on X.

“A true space beast that also leaves interesting things associatively.” It should surely blow up.”
