Celtic are reportedly set to sign Paris Saint-Germain talent Timothy Weah.
Celtic take on Aberdeen at Pittodrie this afternoon, and whilst a Boxing Day win would be ideal, fans have been looking at a potential signing.
With Leigh Griffiths taking a break from football and Moussa Dembele sold in August, Odsonne Edouard has been Celtic’s only recognised striker of late; a far from ideal situation for Brendan Rodgers.
Rodgers’ priority has to be for a striker to arrive in January, and even though a proven goalscorer would no doubt he his preference, a youngster appears to be heading to Glasgow.
RMC Sport report that Celtic have won the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Timothy Weah on loan, beating the likes of Amiens, Caen, Rennes and Strasbourg to his signature.
Weah, 18, has scored twice in six games for PSG this season, whilst he also has eight caps for the United States national team already.
The son of ex-AC Milan hero George Weah, Timothy has been touted for a huge future, but with playing time needed, he looks poised to join Celtic and Rodgers.
Fans have been taking to Twitter to react to the rumour, with many believing that Weah will be an excellent signing, noting that if he is even half as good as his father, Celtic are onto a winner.
Others weren’t quite so convinced though, admitting their disappointment with another loan signing whilst fearing that he could be another Charly Musonda, after the Chelsea talent joined Celtic last January and flopped.
