Timo Weah is a medical away from signing for Juventus.

The winger was on loan at Celtic from Paris Saint Germain in the second half of the eventful 2018/19 season which saw Neil Lennon taking over from Brendan Rodgers.

Weah arrived with a bang, thrilling fans with his devastating pace and enthusiasm for playing the game. With the legendary status of his father, an icon at AC Milan and President of Liberia, there was a real stardust about his presence at Celtic.

Lennon seemed unenthusiastic about loan signing with Weah, Oli Burke, Filip Benkovic and Jeremy Toljan falling out of favour soon after the former Hibs boss came in as caretaker.

Weah made a sharp exit before the Scottish Cup Final against Hearts, joining Lille in the close season where he won the French title and established himself in the US international side.

Now he faces a massive test, moving to Juventus, deadly rivals to the club that his father spent five eventful seasons with in the nineties.
