Report: Bundesliga club now pushing to sign young striker linked with Spurs
According to Fabrizio Romano, Eintracht Frankfurt are now pushing to sign Montpellier forward Elye Wahi, who is rumoured to be on Tottenham’s radar.
Wahi has established a reputation as one of the best young talents in Ligue 1 over the last couple of years, with the forward finishing the 2022-23 campaign with 19 goals and six assists to his name in 33 league matches (Transfermarkt).
Tottenham’s interest in the France Under-21 international first came to light back in February when Telefoot reported that the Lilywhites were monitoring the youngster’s development.
It was subsequently claimed by GFFN on July 26 that a bid from Spurs for the Montpellier star was imminent, amidst the uncertainty over Harry Kane’s future. Since that report, Spurs have rejected Bayern’s latest bid for the England captain (Athletic).
Frankfurt now making a move for Elye Wahi
Romano has taken to social media to reveal that Frankfurt are now pushing ahead with a move for the talented youngster, with the German club thought to have presented a long-term project to the player.
The journalist also states that Chelsea have already had an offer for Wahi turned down and adds that the West London club plan on loaning the striker back to Montpellier should they win the race for him.
However, Romano makes no mention of Tottenham in his latest update.

Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham are seemingly on the verge of securing a talented young striker in Alejo Veliz and it appears as if the Argentine will join up with the squad rather than being loaned out.
However, Veliz’s arrival might not impact Spurs’ interest in Wahi as the Frenchman is of a different profile and can also be used out wide.
