Timothy Weah is keen to impress for the Unites States after scoring on his full international debut in Monday’s 3-0 friendly match win over Bolivia
Weah, son to Liberian President George who is also the first and only African to be crowned Fifa World Player of the Year, has opted to represent the United States instead of his father’s country of birth.
The 18-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward became the fourth-youngest player to score for the USA when he netted the third goal in a convincing victory in Philadelphia.
With the US having failed to qualify for next month’s Fifa World Cup, they have embarked on a rebuilding exercise, with sights set on the 2022 edition and young players form the core of the team.
