After scoring a goal for Caen's U17 side in a defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, Wahi let reporters know how determined he is.

The current U17's coach of JS Suresnes, Piotr Wojtyna, explained Wahi needs to develop when reporters asked whether to compare him with Kante.

“Elye is a phenomenon in relation to his age. He is able to make a difference at any time with the ball. N'Golo Kante was an enormous man with great intelligence.

“Elye is a rough diamond that must progress on the mental side. This kid has a gift, I only hope he will not spoil it because the way is long.”

Europe's elite including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus all want Wahi to be at their academy.

The Frenchman however cannot move to another club abroad until he reaches the age of 16.
