Chelsea take George Weah's son on trial

Chelsea take George Weah's 13-year-old son Timothy on trial.

George Weah has confirmed that his 13-year-old son Timothy has been granted a trial at Chelsea.

The AC Milan great said that the youngster, who plays as a striker, has already started training with the club's youth team and is enjoying his time in England.

"He is talented. We just wanted to give him the opportunity and we also want him to enjoy the game he has passion for so I brought him to Chelsea just for a trial and for a different experience," he told talkSPORT.

"When I left London, I kept ties with Chelsea and when my son wanted to come to England to play, the first person I called was my daddy, Gary Staker [the club's liaison officer].

"Gary made it happen and Timothy is enjoying it. He has started training already and he is happy."

Weah, who was named as FIFA World Player of the Year in 1995, completed a loan stint at Chelsea in 2000, scoring three goals in 11 games for the Blues.
