Foot Mercato have revealed that Montpellier starlet Elye Wahi has changed his representation in the lead-up to the summer transfer window.

Telefoot reported a couple of days ago that the versatile forward, who can play across the front three, was on Tottenham’s radar ahead of the summer.
The report added that Antonio Conte’s men could face competition from their North London rivals, Arsenal and Bundesliga side, Borussia Dortmund for the youngster.
Foot Mercato have now also reported on the interest of Spurs and Arsenal in Wahi, revealing that both clubs ‘courted’ the attacker during last month’s transfer window.
In what could be a significant development, the publication states that the Frenchman has now parted ways with Jorge Mendes and signed a deal with DW Sports Management.
