The promising venture for Elye Wahi at Lens appears to be facing an uncertain future, with reports suggesting that the club is contemplating potential replacements for the Franco-Cameroonian forward during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Recruited with high expectations to address the void left by Loïs Openda’s departure in the summer, Wahi, at the age of 21, has found it challenging to live up to the hefty 30 million euros investment made by Lens.
The young striker has managed to score only four goals in the league this season, leaving fans and management alike expecting more from the talented forward.
According to insights from Jeunes Footeux, Lens is actively exploring alternatives in the forward position, and one of the profiles under consideration is that of Togolese striker Kévin Denkey, currently plying his trade with Cercle Bruges.
The club is keen on reinforcing its attacking options and is carefully evaluating potential candidates, with Denkey emerging as a strong contender.
As Lens scrutinizes its attacking lineup, the fate of Elye Wahi with the club remains uncertain, and his continued presence at Bollaert is no longer guaranteed for the upcoming season.
Wahi’s performance this season has been less than stellar, contributing only seven goals and three assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.
The Lens faithful await developments as the club navigates these considerations, contemplating strategic moves to fortify its squad and maintain competitiveness in future competitions.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Lens remains focused on securing the right blend of talent to elevate its attacking capabilities.
