Legendary footballer George Weah’s son, Timothy Weah  has picked up the career of his Ballon d'Or-winning father by signing a professional contract with Paris St-Germain.

The 17-year-old forward has signed a three-year deal with PSG, the club George represented from 1992 to 1995.


In September 2016, the younger Weah scored a hat-trick in an 8-1 win over Bulgarian side Ludogorets on his Uefa Youth League debut.

"I am very proud to continue the adventure," said Weah, who was born in New York and joined New York Red Bulls before moving to PSG's academy in July 2014.

"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."
