Timothy Weah has revealed on Instagram that he is leaving Celtic, but the Paris Saint-Germain-owned striker Timothy Weah has suggested that he could be back at Celtic Park for the 2019-20 campaign.

Weah joined Celtic on loan from French giants PSG in the January transfer window when Brendan Rodgers – now in charge of Leicester City in the Premier League – was the manager of the Hoops.

The 19-year-old striker was scheduled to stay on loan at Celtic Park until the end of the season, but the USA international is leaving the Hoops early to join up with his national teammates for the Under-20 World Cup in Poland in the summer.

The talented and promising young striker has taken to Instagram to explain his decision to leave Celtic early and has sent an emotional message to the fans.

To all my Celtic Fans❤️ I want to say thank you all for the undying support you have given me throughout my time with Celtic. I will be joining my National team to participate in the U20 World Cup in Poland. With this decision, the gaffer told me that it is in the best interest of the team that I collect my things and go home rather than be apart of the game on Sunday so I’ll be on my way. It was a true honor playing for this club and also having the opportunity to interact with legends who paved the way for us. As a young player, I feel it’s an important step in trying to advance myself. I still have a lot of growing to do in my game and I am especially thankful to the Celtic family for giving me the opportunity to show you all what I am capable of doing once given the chance. To you the fans, I will never forget you for all the love, support and kindness you have shown me. I don’t know as yet what the future holds but I wish to one day come back to this great club to be with you all. I will forever miss you chanting my name and hearing the beautiful song you have created for me. I also want to take this time to thank my wonderful teammates for supporting me every step of the way. It was really great playing with you all and sharing some really amazing moments that I’ll never forget . Thanks so much to Celtic FC and to you the fans for accepting me. God bless❤❤
