Ballon d’Or Winner’s Shocking Switch: George Weah Leaves Chelsea Fans Stunned by Backing Tottenham

George Weah’s Surprising Revelation: A Tottenham Fan?

Football legend George Weah, 58, stunned fans of his former club Chelsea with a shocking admission. While presenting the Ballon d’Or to Manchester City star Rodrigo, Weah revealed his support for Chelsea’s arch-rivals, Tottenham.

Weah, a former star of Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, Milan, and Marseille, had a brief stint with Chelsea in the 1999-2000 season, playing 15 matches and winning the Federation Cup. He also played 9 matches for Manchester City during the same season.

The Liberian football legend’s admiration for Tottenham was further evident when he met English star Harry Kane, the former Tottenham and current Bayern Munich top scorer. Weah praised Kane, saying, “Yes, this is one of my favorite players. I was a fan of Mr. Kane when you played in my team, and I think he is a strong and intelligent striker.”

Kane was visibly amused by Weah’s praise, but Chelsea fans were quick to react, expressing their surprise and disappointment on social media.
