Leeds United-linked forward now has new favourite destination but no contract offer

Leeds United could be set to miss out on a transfer target with news Olympique Marseille are now leading the race to sign Juventus player Timothy Weah. Leeds United have been linked since last month linked with an interest in Juventus forward Weah, with the player looking destined to leave Serie A this summer as a number of clubs circle the USA international.

Weah has already rejected a move to Nottingham Forest, with Bournemouth and Everton having shown an interest in bringing the 25-year-old to the Premier League. Italian press last week reported Leeds had made an official enquiry to Juventus with the club interested in holding talks regarding a switch to Elland Road for Weah.

However, LeedsLive's information is those reports may have gone too far with their reading of the situation. regardless, should Leeds maintain an interest in the forward then an imminent move could be wise with Marseille said to be closing in.
