Transfer Talk: Chelsea look to boost attack with French forward Elye Wahi



Chelsea are looking for attacking reinforcements, and L'Equipe reports that they're interested in signing France under-21 international Elye Wahi from Ligue 1 side Lens.


The 21-year-old snubbed Chelsea last summer after leaving Montpellier to join Lens for £29m, but he could be open to a move this time around.


Wahi scored nine goals and registered three assists for Lens last season, to add to the 19 he netted for Montpellier a year earlier. His impressive tally in 2022-23 was more than Lionel Messi registered for Paris Saint-Germain in the same season.


Wahi is considered a calculated risk by Chelsea: a prospect with huge potential but without the large transfer fee that comes with a proven player.


Chelsea, who have also been linked with Victor Osimhen, are now looking to see what sort of figure it would take to persuade Lens to let him leave.
