There are rapidly growing reports that Juventus have a deal in place to sign Timothy Weah from LOSC, with the price set at €12m.
La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sportitalia had already suggested that the player was intent on making the move to Turin and had agreed personal terms.
Later this evening, Sky Sport Italia added that a verbal deal had also been clinched between the two clubs, with Lille receiving either €12m outright or €10m plus €2m in performance-related bonuses.
They seem to be down to the details and a medical should be organised for over the weekend.
It is an emotional move for Weah, who is the son of former Milan striker George Weah, and as a United States international will be a useful marketing tool for Juventus as well.
Weah is 23 years old and plays on the right wing either in a right-back or a more advanced attacking role, so would fit well into both a 3-5-2 and a 4-4-2 formation.
please no, he aint good enough
