According to a report from Sacha Tavolieri, Elye Wahi (23) has reached an agreement on personal terms to join OGC Nice on loan until the end of the season from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Ivorian forward is happy with the financial terms presented by the Ligue 1 club, as he is set to rejoin the Côte d’Azur outfit. Wahi was instrumental for Les Aiglons towards the end of the Ligue 1 season as they narrowly avoided a catastrophic relegation to Ligue 2. The 23-year-old scored 5 goals in 15 appearances for the French club last season. Given his contributions, Nice are pushing to retain his services for the upcoming season. Nice still negotiatiing a purchase option for Wahi with Frankfurt Le Gym would like the potential option to make the striker’s move permanent beyond his second loan spell. The Ligue 1 club are still in negotiations with the Bundesliga side but Tavolieri reports an agreement between the two clubs is close. GFFN | Liam Wraith
