Dortmund – Fishing himself Borussia Dortmund soon the next big talent? The black and yellow are said to have eyed Sturmjuwel Elye Wahi (20) from HSC Montpellier.
This is reported by the French sports broadcaster Telefoot. Accordingly, BVB “dreams” of signing the young attacker next summer.
However, the competition is well-known and financially strong. With Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, two top London clubs are said to be interested in the lightning-fast youngster.
That’s hardly surprising, given that the U21 international of the “Équipe Tricolore” is one of the most frequently used players in his age group in the top five leagues. The talented snapper now has 71 Ligue 1 games under his belt.
Incredible run! Fans are completely freaking out because of this cool special BVB jersey
What’s more, Wahi is only the second kicker to have scored 20 goals in the French top flight under the age of 20. Previously, only today’s PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé (24) managed this feat. At the beginning of January he celebrated his milestone birthday, since then another goal has been added.
The contract of the 1.84 meter tall goalgetter runs until 2025, as a transfer fee of 30 million euros is under discussion.
It is questionable whether Borussia would dig deep into their pockets, because with Sébastien Haller (28) and Youssoufa Moukoko (18) they are actually well positioned in the center of the attack.
Due to its enormous speed, Wahi can also be used on the wings, where the black and yellow shoe tends to pinch.
