Elye Wahi is one of those players who is in Arsenals’ shortlist. Montpellier President Laurent Nicollin has revealed striker Elye Wahi “loves Arsenal”. This is amid claims the Gunners are looking at a transfer this summer.
What does the summer hold for Elye Wahi and Arsenal
Nicollin has been speaking to 100% Paillade, relayed by Esprit Paillade, ahead of a summer transfer window in which it appears Wahi will be moving on.
The 20-year-old has been impressing in Ligue 1 again this season. That is with 19 goals and 6 assists in 33 games.

He’s been making great strides at Montpellier since his debut. That too with a tally of 32 goals and nine assists in 91 games for the senior side. So far that is earning him plenty of admirers.
Arsenal have been showing an interest in him since last year and that has not ended. Along with it they recently claimed that their interest was ‘considerable’. And even a hint that a bid may have already been made.
Mikel Arteta’s side are thought to be on the lookout for offensive reinforcements this summer. However, Wahi would certainly fit the bill, particularly given their ongoing desire to focus on younger talent. He went on to say:-
“His agent is talking to four or five big clubs, and I know who they are, but I won’t tell you. We know how much he loves Arsenal,”
Naturally that doesn’t mean Wahi will end up at Arsenal this summer. But it certainly gives them an advantage over any potential competition if their interest is as serious as has been claimed.
Arsenal are still working on getting the other deals over the line as well. Declan Rice is considered as a priority this stage. Moises Caicedo is also a player they are after.
