(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 1 - Juventus said Saturday that they have signed 23-year-old United States winger Timothy Weah on a five-year contract.
    He is the son of former AC Milan striker and current Liberia President George Weah.
    He spent his childhood in the United States but moved to Europe at the age of 15, when he joined the Paris Saint Germain academy in the summer of 2015.
    The 23-year-old has won the French league title three times, twice with PSG and in 2021 with Lille, and he also lifted the Scottish title in 2019 during a loan stint at Celtic.
