Former Celtic frontman Timo Weah seems to have been around the world of football despite being the youthful age of 23. The USA international was signed for the Bhoys by current manager Brendan Rodgers on loan in January 2019, although his move was never made permanent.
Weah made 17 appearances for the Celts in his time in Glasgow, scoring four goals and setting up another. After his short six-month loan, he returned to PSG. The attacker then signed for Lille in the summer of 2019.
He spent four years there, during which he scored against Celtic in the Europa League in 2020, before joining Italian giants Juventus in the summer just past.
For Juve, Weah has made 13 appearances and on Thursday evening in the cup against Salernitana, he bagged his first goal for the club. From range, the 23-year-old arrowed the ball with utmost power into the top-right corner:

For the goal of the season award, this strike is undoubtedly a contender. At Celtic, Weah’s goals were of a less impressive ilk, the American finishing in one-on-one or breakaway situations.
That is not to say he didn’t impress in his time in Scotland because he did, but consistency never came.
