Tottenham have emerged as one of four clubs that could offer Timothy Weah a Juventus exit route.
Tottenham have shown interest in several players this summer.
The North London club have already signed Mathys Tel on a permanent deal from Bayern Munich and are now looking at Bryan Mbeumo and Eberechi Eze to build on their front line.
Weah would be an interesting choice for Tottenham, and is someone who can play in the wide areas like Mbeumo and Eze, with the potential of a transfer now rated.
Tottenham advised to steer clear of Weah
As reported by Footmercato (19 June), Tottenham are one of four European clubs to have shown an interest in Weah, and lead the chase to sign the Juventus forward along with Everton.

The 25-year-old could be an option for the Lilywhites if Mbeumo chooses Manchester United this summer.
However, news of his potential signing has frustrated Tottenham supporters, and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – agrees that Spurs do not need to sign Weah this summer.
“Weah can play in several positions,” Wenham said.
“I’ve seen him play as a full-back or as a winger. He’s obviously from a very good pedigree. However, I think we’re well covered in the positions that he plays. I don’t see him being an instant starter for Tottenham.
“I don’t see him as being better than Pedro Porro or Djed Spence, and on the wing, we’ve already got Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski, who can play there. As a result, this is a transfer I don’t see happening.”
Tottenham should only purchase Weah for a small fee
Weah is hardly an upgrade on Spurs’ Johnson, who was the Lilywhites’ top scorer last season.
The American is known for his ability to play several positions and is a live wire down the flank. However, his output is inconsistent, and he only managed six goals for Juventus last season.
Therefore, if Tottenham were to sign him this summer, it should be as a rotational option, which means they should only consider a deal if the fee is reasonable.
