Timothy Weah is keen to leave Paris Saint-Germain on loan during the January transfer window, and Aston Villa should swoop for the 18-year-old.
What’s the story?
Weah joined PSG from New York Red Bulls in 2014, and signed his first professional contract with the French champions in 2017.
Since then, the teenager has scored twice in six first-team appearances, with both of those goals coming in three games this term.
Weah told reporters last week – in quotes carried by the Daily Mail – that he was keen to leave PSG on loan during the January window in search of more regular action.
Weah went on to start for USA in their 3-0 defeat to England on Thursday night, and has already been capped on eight occasions by his national team.
There is no question that a number of clubs will be closely monitoring developments with the youngster, and Villa should make a move at the start of 2019.
Why should Villa move for Weah?
PSG think a lot of Weah, but it is difficult to see the teenager playing too much football between now and the end of the season.
A loan move makes sense for both the club and the player, and a switch to England would surely appeal.
The Playmaker FC squad decided to wind-up some unsuspecting Brazil fans at the Emirates on Saturday night. Watch the hilarious results in the video below…
Weah – son of the brilliant George Weah – might not see too much action if he moved to a Premier League club, but could become a key player for a team in the second tier.
Capable of playing in a number of different positions in the final third, Weah would relish the chance to play alongside on-loan Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham.
Abraham has five league goals since arriving at Villa Park, and Championship defences would certainly not relish lining up against the two exciting attackers.
