Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Montpellier striker Elye Wahi.
The 20-year-old has impressed in the French league this season and he has 12 goals and 3 assists to his name across all competitions.
A report from Jeunes Footeux claims that the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham are following him ‘very closely’ ahead of the summer transfer window.
Wahi is highly rated in French football and he has the potential to develop into a top-class player.
Tottenham could definitely use more depth in the attacking areas and the 20-year-old can play anywhere across the front three.
He could share the goal-scoring burden alongside Harry Kane next season.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will need to bring in a backup option to Gabriel Jesus as well. The 20-year-old Ligue 1 striker could prove to be the ideal acquisition for the north London club.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat their rivals in the race to sign the 20-year-old forward in the coming months.
Apparently the forward is valued at €32 million (£28m) and the two clubs certainly have the financial resources to pay the reported asking price. Furthermore, the asking price seems reasonable for a player of his potential and he could justify the outline in the long run.
Moving to Arsenal or Tottenham would be a major step up in the young attacker’s career and playing alongside the top-class players in the Premier League will only accelerate is development. Managers like Mikel Arteta could help the player improve and fulfil his potential in the coming seasons.
