Celtic have brought in Timothy Weah on loan until the end of the season.

Celtic have made it three January signings today, tying up a deal for Dunajska Streda striker Vakoun Issouf Bayo just 24 hours after signing Timothy Weah.

West Bromwich Albion-owned winger Oliver Burke was the first January signing to arrive, penning a loan deal until the end of the season.

Celtic then brought in Weah on loan from Paris Saint-Germain on Monday night, before then adding Bayo in a third attacking addition.

Bayo is something of an unknown quantity but has dazzled over in Slovakia, and Burke needs to get his career back on track having struggled at West Brom.

Weah is a particularly interesting signing, as whilst Rangers have taken a veteran striker on loan in Jermain Defoe, Celtic have gone the other way and taken a teenager on loan.

The American needs playing time and simply isn’t going to get it at PSG right now, but some feel Celtic need a forward with more experience than Weah.

Now, Weah, 18, joined up with his teammates at Celtic’s training camp in Dubai, and Celtic have posted the first photos of him in training with the Bhoys as he looks to get up to speed with his new teammates, with fans no doubt excited about his arrival.
