Timothy Weah has scored three goals for Neil Lennon’s Celtic side so far this season.

Timothy Weah of Celtic scores his team's second goal during the Ladbrokes Premiership match between St Johnstone and Celtic at McDiarmid Park on February 3, 2019 in Perth, United Kingdom.

Timothy Weah has told the Daily Record that it is possible that he will sign permanently for Celtic in the summer.

Weah has joined Celtic on loan from PSG and he has made a positive impression in Glasgow.

The youngster has hit three goals in his 10 league appearances for Celtic, and his pace has been a threat to opposition sides’ defences.

Although Weah is yet to make himself a permanent starter in Neil Lennon’s side, he has excited the Parkhead crowd on numerous occasions.

And Weah has suggested that he is enjoying his time at Celtic so much that he would consider moving on a longer-term basis.

“I feel like it’s a possibility. It’s something me and my family have to go over at the end of the season,” he said.

“I am loving it here so far so we just have to see what happens.

“I’m really positive about the situation, happy to be at the club and making the most of these opportunities.”

Whether Celtic would have the funds to bring in Weah on a permanent deal remains to be seen.

Weah is considered a very bright prospect, but the competition for places at his parent club, PSG, is fierce.

If Celtic did bring in the USA international it would be a bright start to their summer business, when a number of new players are expected to arrive.
