PSG Gives Professional Contract To George Weah's Son, Timothy

Timothy Weah - the son of former Ballon d'Or winner George Weah, have been handed his first professional contract by Paris Saint-Germain. George Weah played for PSG from 1992 to 1995, the year in which he won the world player of the year award.

Timothy Weah has penned a deal with the Ligue 1 side that will keep him at the Parc des Princes until 2020 - and the 17-year-old is keen to progress. Weah has shone in PSG's youth set-up since joining the club in July 2014. He scored a hat-trick in an 8-1 thumping of Bulgarian side Ludogorets on his UEFA Youth League debut in September 2016. Weah went on to make four appearances in the 2016/17 competition, before PSG were eliminated in the round of 16 by eventual winners Red Bull Salzburg.

He said “I am very proud to continue the adventure at Paris Saint-Germain by signing this professional contract, I am in a big club and I look forward to continuing to progress so that I can one day play for the first team.”
