Timothy Weah

As a striker, I don't get to score a lot of beautiful goals.

Celtic is the right place: the history, the fans - it's a place I want to score more goals.

Coming from N.Y.C., I learned that with every hardship that you face, things are always going to get better once you put your mind to it.

My surname is on my back, so I don't see it when I play - that is for the fans only.

Irish national teams are usually very physical.

I was really scared coming to Celtic because I have heard so much about U.K. football being tough; the fans expect so much.

Obviously, at PSG, they have the best players in the world. Being with that group has really made me strong. I have watched the ins and outs of everyone, Neymar and Mbappe and all those guys in training, and I really feel that it has moulded me into a stronger person and a fighter, and it made me a lot hungrier than before.

My dream is eventually becoming the greatest talent to come out of the United States and New York, being a starter, and playing for my country.

There are people that said I will not be as good as my father, that I am trash, and asked why I am playing for the U.S.A. You know, that is just pushing me to be the star that my country has been looking for.

Being an 18 year-old football player, there are temptations. There are girls. There's going out to parties. There's doing this; there's doing that. There is drinking and blah, blah, blah. But at the end of the day it all comes down to maturity and what you have to do as a man to reach that next level. You have to be disciplined and make sacrifices.

My father has played at Celtic before. He has told me it is really intense, and it is good to grow as a footballer by playing for this club.

I just focus and concern myself with playing as I can.
