Ligue 1 has been tagged as the ‘Farmer’s League‘, for years but has now almost shed the tag. Instead, the French league has become one of the best in developing young talents in the world. Lille’s Jonathan David, Lyon’s Rayan Cherki, Lorient’s Adil Aouchiche and Dango Outaara, PSG’s Warren Zaire-Emery, and Rennes’ Kamaldeen Sulemana, Reims’s Nathanael Mbuku are just some of the top young guns in the league. After eight matches in the current season, Sepe Elye Wahi looks to be the latest star to come out. Elye Wahi has been an integral part of Montpellier’s attack, which has scored the league’s second-most goals as of now.
Montpellier finished a disappointing 13th last season. However, the club have kept faith in manager Olivier Dall’Oglio. And in the attack, Elye Wahi has been the best, scoring the most goals for Montpellier. However, the team has been let down by the defence, who have conceded 15 goals so far.

After one season in the youth team, he was promoted to the Montpellier reserve team. His talent was quickly noticed by then manager Michel Der Zakarian who promoted him to the senior squad.
