According to ESPN, Chelsea are interested in signing highly rated Montpellier striker Elye Wahi.

The 20-year-old, who is under contract until June 2025, was also part of France’s U21 squad earlier this month and was superb in Ligue 1 last season with 19 goals in 33 appearances.

The report also adds that Chelsea can sign the 20 year old striker if Montpellier receive a fee of €30million. A couple of other English clubs are also following Wahi.

Wahi would fit with the youth-centered transfer policy implemented at Chelsea since the takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital last year.
