Chelsea need to step up Elye Wahi pursuit
In our opinion, if Chelsea are determined to sign Elye Wahi in the summer transfer window, then they should make a new and improved bid for the Montpellier striker.
If the striker has agreed personal terms with the Blues, then it indicates that he really wants to play for the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
With the likes of West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal all keen on Wahi, the only way that Chelsea could guarantee themselves of signing the striker is to make the biggest bid.
The 20-year-old striker made 29 starts and four substitute appearances in Ligue 1 for Montpellier last season.
The youngster scored 19 goals and gave five assists in those games.
