Timothy Weah will leave French champions Paris St Germain on loan for
six months in January, the U.S. striker said on Tuesday.
British media reported the 18-year-old was set to join Scottish
champions Celtic.
Weah has played only three times for PSG this season as bigger names
such as Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani have limited his first-team
chances.
In a message posted in French on his Instagram page, Weah thanked his
PSG team mates, the coaching staff and supporters for making him feel part from
the family.
“These few months have been great even though I haven’t played much,”
Weah said. “I’ve always been grateful for the opportunities I had at the
beginning of the season because it opened me many doors this winter.
“I hope after these six months, I will be ready to return to the Parc
des Princes and give everything for you, proud to be Parisian.”
Since making his international debut in March, Weah has chalked up more
appearances for the U.S. than for PSG, who have dominated French Ligue 1 this
season with 15 wins in their first 17 matches.
Weah, the son of former Liberia, PSG and AC Milan striker George Weah
who won the 1995 Ballon D’Or, became the fourth-youngest U.S. men’s national
team player to score a goal when he netted in a 3-0 win over Bolivia in May.
