Elye Wahi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back with Frankfurt squad Wahi has returned to training with Frankfurt following his participation with Ivory Coast at the World Cup, the club announced.

Impact Wahi did not register a goal across three appearances during the tournament. The forward's pace and physical strength as a target man have made him a useful attacking option in the past, though his future with the club remains uncertain, with a real possibility he changes clubs before the summer transfer window closes. His return marks the start of his individual buildup after completing his fitness tests earlier this week. Wahi is expected to continue training with the group while his transfer situation is resolved.

Assists in defeat Elye Wahi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-3 loss against Union Berlin.

Wahi has been a mixed bag since joining Frankfurt, at times he shows the level that saw him as one of the most exciting prospects in Europe, but he too often goes missing from matches. Wahi will get his minutes across all competitions, but barring injury he's not likely to frequent the starting XI.

With Hugo Ekitike linked to multiple large clubs elsewhere in Europe, Wahi could reasonably be in for a large role next season.

He started in seven of his 13 appearances while with Marseille, notching one assist and three goals in just less than 600 minutes of play.

This was the first appearance on the scoresheet of the season for the forward, who will hope to keep getting playing time during upcoming matches.

Impact Wahi is a doubt due to a nagging thigh injury that has been exacerbated by an extremely busy portion of the schedule. The forward is certainly the top option to lead the attack and even if deemed fully fit he'd likely only be given 60 minutes on the pitch, perhaps less. Morgan Guilavogui would be the most likely option to replace Wahi.
