2023-07-10
Chelsea will reportedly bid for French wonderkid Elye Wahi, who is dubbed N’Golo Kante’s ‘little brother’ in France. Reports claim that the big-spending Premier League side are leading the race to sign the prolific Montpellier forward.
Wahi scored 19 goals and provided six assists in an impressive breakthrough campaign in Ligue 1 last season. The 20-year-old has attracted interest from across Europe, with Chelsea supposedly the frontrunners for his signature.

According to L’Equipe, Chelsea are preparing a bid for Wahi, although it is not clear how much he might cost. The Montpellier academy product has a contract until 2025.
After an underwhelming season for big-money signings Raheem Sterling, Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana, new boss Mauricio Pochettino has demanded that his squad show him their ‘real quality’ during pre-season.
