Timothy Weah is on loan at Celtic from Paris Saint-Germain.
Chris Sutton has written in The Record that he’d love to see Timothy Weah stay at Celtic beyond the end of his loan deal.
The 19-year-old attacker joined Celtic on a half-season loan from Paris Saint-Germain but looks set to return to his parent club next month.
He started brilliantly under Brendan Rodgers but has found chances hard to come by since Neil Lennon replaced his compatriot at Parkhead.
In fact, Weah has started only twice under Lennon since February but despite his low-profile last few months, the former Hoops hitman would like to see the youngster – son of the legendary George Weah – stay in Glasgow for the long term.
He told The Record: “Timo Weah would have got pass marks if he’d played more. He was a breath of fresh air and I’m surprised he has been used so sparingly by Lennon. I’d like to see him back next season.”
A permanent deal seems unlikely at this stage, especially if Lennon gets the job on a full-time basis.
For whatever reason, Lennon doesn’t seem to rate Weah, who has skill and pace to burn but he hasn’t been able to show it much as of late.
