PARIS, June 30 — US international forward Timothy Weah has left Paris Saint-Germain to join their Ligue 1 rivals Lille, the clubs said yesterday. Weah, the 19-year-old son of former African footballer of the year and current Liberian President George Weah, has signed a five-year contract with the northern French club.Having struggled to break into PSG's star-studded first team, Weah spent last season on loan to Celtic, where he won the Scottish title.
His sale to Lille is widely seen as part of Qatar-owned PSG's attempts to conform with Uefa's Financial Fairplay regulations designed to prevent clubs from overspending.Lille finished runners-up to PSG last season. New York-born Weah, who joined PSG from New York Red Bulls in 2014, has made eight appearances for the US national team, scoring once.
