Speaking at a press conference on Sunday evening, OGC Nice coach Olivier Pantaloni delivered a stark warning to Ivorian striker Elye Wahi.

Despite creating several good chances on Sunday evening, OGC Nice striker Elye Wahi failed to find the net against Angers (2-0) on matchday 10 of Ligue 1. Speaking to the press, OGC Nice coach Olivier Pantaloni lamented the former Marseille player's lack of finishing efficiency.

"I'm not going to take anything away from the goalkeeper, but I think Elye is capable of doing much better and finishing his chances. It's true that he wasn't offside; he often ran in behind Kamara. We laughed about it at the end, but he's scored six goals since the start of the season, and I think he should have twelve, in my opinion. And he knows that," the Gym coach said at a press conference.

Can the international break with Côte d'Ivoire help him get back on track?

Last Thursday, Côte d'Ivoire coach Hervé Renard announced his squad for the international break, which began on Monday. The Elephants have two matches against Gambia, on November 12 and 15.

Called up, Elye Wahi continues to enjoy the French coach's trust. Against Gambia, the striker will need to put in a reassuring performance to return to OGC Nice in good form.
