Celtic legend compares USMNT star Weah to Anelka after impressive start at Park Head

Celtic loanee Timothy Weah has been compared to former Arsenal and Real Madrid forward Nicolas Anelka by Charlie Nicholas.

At 18 years of age, the United States international has been forced to look outside of Parc des Princes for regular game time amid fierce competition for places in France.

He is held in high regard by the Ligue 1 champions and was tied to a new contract before being allowed to head for Scotland.
