Nice re-sign Ivorian forward Wahi on loan
Elye Wahi returns from Eintracht Frankfurt just months after helping the French Ligue 1 side beat the drop.
Nice has announced that they have re-signed Ivorian forward Elye Wahi on loan for the upcoming season, with an option to make the deal permanent at the end of his loan term. Reported by AFP, the 23-year-old forward will join the French Ligue 1 side from Eintracht Frankfurt just months after helping them avoid relegation. Wahi played a crucial role in Nice's promotion/relegation play-off victory against Saint-Etienne in May, scoring a late brace that proved pivotal in the match.
The Slovenian club confirmed the signing on Monday, emphasizing that Wahi's return was anticipated. Fans warmly welcomed the Ivorian player at the airport upon his arrival. During his loan spell, Nice will pay a transfer fee of €1.5 million (US$1.75m) to Eintracht Frankfurt for the loan, with the option to purchase Wahi permanently for an additional €15 million.
Last season, Wahi scored nine goals in 19 matches for Nice as they fought to avoid the drop, a year after finishing fourth and qualifying for the Champions League qualifying rounds. He will be available for Nice's upcoming match against Paris FC on Sunday.
