There are plenty of examples of professional footballers who never quite got out of their dad's shadow. The clip above suggests Timothy Weah is not going to be one of them.

Timothy's dad - in case you hadn't guessed - is George Weah, the legendary Liberian striker, AC Milan legend and World Player of the Year in 1995.

And while having a dad who once scored the greatest length-of-the-pitch individual goal ever seen might be too much pressure for some kids, young Timothy doesn't seem to be too bothered. Currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain's Under-17s, you can see Weah Junior scoring FIVE (very decent) goals in one game, in the video at the top of the page.

Sadly for any Liberians out there, Weah Junior was born in America, and is already playing for the US national team's U17 side.

Interestingly, George revealed that he took Timothy for a trial at Chelsea - his former club - back in 2013, when his son was just 13. Judging by the fact he is now playing for PSG, someone at Stamford Bridge clearly decided the young man wasn't good enough for The Blues.

Sure Roman will be DELIGHTED with that news…
