Weah wants to follow in Hazard's footsteps after signing for Lille

New Lille signing Timothy Weah says he wants to follow in the footsteps of some of the club’s most notable luminaries, with former players such as Eden Hazard and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang giving him all the incentive he needed to join LOSC.

The 19-year-old forward ended his association with French champions Paris Saint-Germain last month when he penned a five-year deal at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

And the USA star, fresh from a challenging loan spell in Scotland with Celtic, is keen to get the latest chapter in his career off to the best possible start after catching the eye for his country at this summer’s Under-20 World Cup in Poland.
