West Ham and Leicester ‘now negotiating’ for same signing – Offers possible in ‘coming hours’

West Ham United and Leicester City have become the latest clubs to enter the race for RC Lens’ Elye Wahi.

That’s according to L’Equipe, who say West Ham and Leicester have positioned themselves to sign the striker this summer.

The Ligue 1 side signed the 21-year-old from Montpellier in August 2023 and offered him a contract until 2028. He has managed 12 goals and four assists in 36 games in all competitions.

Wahi’s future is likely to be away from the French club and the report says both sides have agreed to part ways in this window. His future could be in England, where West Ham and the Foxes are looking to secure his services.
