TMW: Scouts believe 12-goal Montpellier star could be perfect fit for Milan

AC Milan are continuing to keep an eye on the best talents in Ligue 1 and Elye Wahi has caught the eye of scouts, a report claims.

According to TMW, the Rossoneri are following Wahi with great interest as he has scored 12 goals in 24 games this season for Montpellier at the age of just 20, playing mainly as a centre-forward but also out on the left.

Milan’s scouting team – headed by Geoffrey Moncada who knows the French market so well – see Wahi as one of the perfect targets in the event that Rafael Leao is sold, which is becoming an increasing possibility as the weeks go by.

There is competition to sign Wahi though because Stade Rennais are also interested in him, while in France there is talk that offers of over €20m have already arrived for a player who looks destined to have a very bright future ahead of him.
