Eintracht Frankfurt announce record-signing of forward Elye Wahi | OneFootball

Eintracht Frankfurt have seemingly wrapped up their replacement for Omar Marmoush, announcing the signing of Marseille forward Elye Wahi Friday evening.

Marmoush departed for Manchester City earlier this week for a whopping reported fee of  €70 million, and Frankfurt appear to have put those funds to good use.

The German outfit have announced the deal for the Wahi, who has four goal contributions in 13 Ligue 1 games this season.

The French youth international has signed a deal with the club through 2030 after they reportedly shelled out up to €22 million for him — a club-record deal.

"We have been looking at Elye Wahi for a long time and we are delighted that he will be playing for Eintracht Frankfurt from now on," Sporting director Markus Krösche said. "

Elye is a fast-paced striker with good boxing skills and a strong goal instinct. He is a young player with potential for development and we are convinced of his qualities. At the same time, we are giving him the time he needs to adapt."
