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 the signing of Elye Wahi, an Ivorian forward, on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt for the upcoming season, with the possibility of making the arrangement permanent at the conclusion of his loan period. The 23-year-old joined the French Ligue 1 club in January, and his late goal in May proved crucial as Nice avoided relegation, defeating Ligue 2 side Saint-Etienne in the promotion/relegation play-off.
It was reported that Wahi received a warm reception from Eagles supporters at the airport upon his arrival in France. The deal, which is expected, involves the French club paying €1.5 million (US$1.75m) for the loan, with the option to extend the contract permanently for €15 million. Wahi managed to score nine goals in 19 appearances during the previous season as Nice narrowly avoided the drop, having previously finished fourth and progressed to the Champions League qualifying stages.
