Arsenal Transfer News: Both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur want to add forward Elye Wahi, 20-year-old, to their rosters for the next season
Arsenal Transfer News: Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, two London teams, are reportedly interested in signing Elye Wahi. He’s just 20, but the 20-year-been old’s making a big impact in Ligue 1. Many teams have shown interest in Wahi, thus he might be leaving this summer.
This season, the star of France’s U-20 national team has been on fire for Montpellier. The French striker has been on the radar of many top European teams due to his prolific goal-scoring.
The summer of 2018 saw Wahi’s arrival at Montpellier, where he quickly became a valued member of the team. He debuted with their U-19 squad and quickly rose through the levels. In the dead of winter of 2021, the then-20-year-old was elevated to the elite squad. As a senior, he has played in 82 games and contributed 30 goals.
The 20-year-old striker has had 12 goals scored for him in Ligue 1. Wahi’s performance in his 24 games so far has been outstanding. The summer of 2025 marks the conclusion of his current deal with the team. It seems probable, however, that he will depart the club before the start of the next season, considering the high demand for his services.

Will the move go through?
The 20-year-old has drawn the attention of Arsenal and Spurs. They have had Wahi on their radar for some time now. They plan to make an offer for his services this summer. So far, the Gunners have had a fantastic season. They are now in first place in the Premier League and will be participating in the UEFA Champions League next season. Before the start of the following season, Mikel Arteta must fortify his roster.
In order to challenge for UCL, he desperately needs reinforcements. Arteta really wants Wahi to join his team. The 20-year-old is ideal since he is a pure striker, which is what he needs. Yet they’ll have to compete with Tottenham Hotspur if they want to sign the star of the French U-20 national team. So far, Spurs’ season has been a major letdown. They will likely use the next summer transfer window to bolster their roster.
The team would want to strengthen their attack by signing a new forward. Because of the impending departure of Lucas Moura and the question marks around Harry Kane’s future with the club, this seems like the best option. The addition of the 20-year-old will improve their offence regardless of whether or not Kane remains with the club. Wahi has been linked to both Spurs and the Gunners, so it will be exciting to see which club succeeds in acquiring him.
