Timothy Weah is the latest recruit of Olympique de Marseille. The American international was presented to the press this Thursday and repeated his joy at having finally been able to sign at OM and to land in this ambitious workforce.
The audience of journalists who faced him did not fail to question him about one of the rumors of the moment on the Canebière: that leading to his former teammate in Lille, Edon Zhegrova.
The Lille trio recomposed?
Asked about the role he could play in negotiations with LOSC and to convince Kosovar, the son of “Mister George” replied: “Of course I will help with that. But I think there is not too much need. Zerbi's coach, management with Medhi and the president, they are very, very strong, nice and who speak to you with the heart. This is what attracted me to Marseille today. When they speak with him, it's 100% Marseille and we're going to be a trio again! (laughs). »»
Should we see the sign that things will end well and lead to an arrival of Edon Zhegrova? In any case, OM would have the preference of the Lille winger, determined to leave and that the LOSC assesses between 15 and 20 million euros. If the former Basel player joins the Marseille workforce, he will therefore find Timothy Weah, but also Angel Gomes, both frequented in Lille.
