Player to watch: Elye Wahi
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was Marseille's best player last season, leading the team in both goals and assists in France's top flight. However, the former Chelsea and Arsenal forward departed for newly promoted Saudi side Al Qadisiyah this summer.
With that in mind, Marseille reportedly purchased Elye Wahi for a sum of €25 million earlier this week. Wahi was impressive for Lens last season, recording nine goals and three assists in Ligue 1. Barring any unforeseen issues, he will likely make his debut for Marseille this weekend.
