Everton are on the lookout for a new winger this summer having seen their options depleted already.

David Moyes is starting this transfer window on the back foot with so many players already departing Merseyside.

There are certainly some players who Everton fans will have no issues with seeing depart the club at the end of their contracts.

Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom left Everton following the conclusion of their loan deals.

These are two attackers who provided the Blues with very little in front of goal and were in need of an upgrade this summer.

However, it has left Moyes’ options extremely stretched, for now.

Everton are interested in Jack Grealish, but the Toffees are going to need more than just one signing to address the wide positions.

Everton eyeing Juventus forward Timothy Weah

For some time now, Everton have held interest in Timothy Weah, with his Juventus future up in the air.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

Attacking options are needed on Merseyside and the Blues have taken the long-term target forward into this summer’s window.

According to Sebastien Denis, Everton have now made inquiries over landing Weah this summer.

However, the Toffees are not the only side looking to land the American international over the coming months.

Tottenham Hotspur have also been credited with interest and two undisclosed clubs are said to also be on the scene.

Juventus were keen to keep Weah around in January, but that may now have changed with the Turin outfit having more time to find a replacement.

Given the way this window is unfolding, Everton will have to be proactive in their interest if they are to land the 25-year-old.

What Neymar once said about Timothy Weah

This is a forward who follows in the footsteps of his legendary father and he has caught the attention of some of the current greats.

In Serie A, Weah returned five goals and three assists from his 30 appearances, with only 18 of those appearances from the starting XI.

But some believe Weah still has the potential to grow, with Neymar previously praising the exciting talent he holds.

“From what I’ve seen of his talent, he has everything to go and become one of the top attacking players in Europe,” said Neymar.

Everton are prioritising attacking signings this summer, and Weah could be exactly what they need.

Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are both considering a move for Juventus’ Timothy Weah this summer.

That’s according to Foot Mercato, who state Tottenham and Everton are among four clubs ‘battling’ for the winger. These four clubs are ‘particularly interested’ in Weah, who could be moving to a new team next season.

The American has been used across the right side of the pitch and also on the left wing this season. He mainly operated between a right winger and a right-back, managing six goals and five assists from 43 games.

His versatility hasn’t gone unnoticed as Tottenham and Everton are particularly keen, and two other unnamed clubs are also in the picture. The Premier League duo are ‘tracking’ the 25-year-old and will battle for his signature in this window.

The former Lille man has continued to rise at the Serie A club and Foot Mercato state he has an opportunity to make a move to the Premier League. Weah’s contract lasts until 2028.

Sébastien Denis covered this report for Foot Mercato, and he took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to add that Tottenham and Everton made contact to sign Weah.

Former Lille OSC forward Timothy Weah (25), now at Serie A side Juventus, is the subject of enquiries from Premier League clubs, according to a report from French media Foot Mercato.

As per the publication, there are four clubs interested in the USMNT international. It comes after a season in which he played 43 times for the Turin-based club, scoring six goals and registering five assists. He is the subject of enquiries from Everton and Tottenham Hotspur. There are two other European clubs interested in the player, although they have not been named. Red Bull Leipzig, however, have previously shown an interest in the forward, who is also capable of playing at full-back.

Currently competing with Juventus at the FIFA Club World Cup in his native USA, Weah could therefore be on the move this summer. Tottenham Hotspur have the advantage of being able to offer UEFA Champions League football next season.

Tottenham fans absolutely furious after Timothy Weah transfer news – ‘Fraud’

Tottenham fans are again at odds with the club as the Lilywhites still await new faces this summer.

There has been plenty of positive media coming out of North London recently, with Daniel Levy appearing in a rare interview in which he doubled down on his commitment to improving the first team.

Tottenham have been linked with numerous high-calibre players this summer, especially from within the Premier League. However, they are yet to bring in a fresh face, with the permanent signings of Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso – who both spent last season on loan with Spurs – their only completed deals.

Spurs have a history of missing out on top targets and settling for so-called good deals instead, which Tottenham fans fear is happening again after recent transfer developments.

Tottenham show interest in Timothy Weah

It is no secret that Thomas Frank is looking to add to Tottenham’s front line, with Antoine Semenyo and Bryan Mbeumo emerging as targets.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, as reported by Footmercato (19 June), Spurs have also sounded out Juventus forward Timothy Weah, and lead the chase to sign the Paris Saint-Germain academy product along with Everton.

The 25-year-old has had mixed fortunes since joining the Old Lady, where he has struggled to lock down a regular starting spot despite making over 40 appearances last season.

Competitions Appearances Goals Assists Minutes Played Serie A 30 5 3 1,638′ UEFA Champions League 9 1 1 555′ Domestic Cup Competitions 3 – 1 103′ Weah’s statistics for Juventus (2024/25)

He is currently competing in the Club World Cup with the Italian side and is expected to be a big part of Mauricio Pochettino’s USA team next summer.

Weah is known for his pace and versatility, having played in a handful of different positions last season, but is not a signing the Lilywhites are excited about.

The Spurs faithful took to X to make their feelings known, with one fan going as far as calling the Brooklyn-born attacker a “fraud”.

Tottenham should stick to Premier League model

Tottenham have had mixed success in bringing in players from foreign leagues in recent years

Lucas Bergvall has proven that due diligence can lead to excellent signings, but the club are still haunted by the unfortunate acquisitions of Bryan Gil and Tanguy Ndombele, who ultimately cost Spurs dearly.

While Premier League players come at a higher premium, Spurs’ main objective next season is to stabilise and perform at a higher level consistently across all competitions, and for that, they should sign players physically adept for the challenge.
