Will he leave this winter? Eintracht Frankfurt face the Wahi dilemma | OneFootball

Elye Wahi was already celebrating when his goal against Heidenheim was disallowed. It could have been a breakthrough moment, but instead, the striker missed a huge chance in the second half and is still waiting for a success story this season. 

The disallowed goal was "extremely annoying for us," noted his coach Dino Toppmöller, but also for Wahi, "who really needed that goal for his confidence." 

Markus Krösche saw it similarly after the game: "He lacks confidence and that bit of luck, which he has to win back through hard work," judged Frankfurt's sporting director. If you’re not on a roll, those chances just don’t go in, Krösche added: "A goal would be the breakthrough. Strikers need to score, then they get into the flow."

But it’s hard to imagine that he’ll get back into the flow at SGE. So far, he hasn’t been able to justify his €25 million transfer fee. In eight out of nine Bundesliga matches this season, he has only managed to provide a single assist.  The 'Frankfurter Rundschau' therefore suspects that the striker could be loaned out in the winter. 

Do you think Wahi will have to leave in the winter? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
