Elye Wahi delivered a hat-trick and one assist to power OGC Nice to a commanding 5-2 home win against Stade Rennais in Ligue 1. The 23-year-old centre-forward opened the scoring in the 12th minute and was the driving force in a very lively encounter, according to L'Équipe.
Wahi is on loan at Nice from Eintracht Frankfurt and has now scored three goals and provided one assist across seven appearances in 2026/27, with a season average rating of 7.02. FootVal's valuation of the Ivory Coast international stands at €16.9m, slightly below his Transfermarkt market value of €18m. His contract with Frankfurt runs until June 2027.
Foot Mercato notes that Wahi is making a real impression on Ligue 1 defences, with the Nice crowd reportedly chanting in his honour during the rout. The result lifts Nice further up the table after nine rounds of the French top flight.
