Former world footballer of the year George Weah has disclosed that his 13 year-old son Timothy has been given a trial at Chelsea.
The former AC Milan veteran striker who was named FIFA World Player of the year in 1995 said that his son, who plays as a striker, has already started training with the Chelsea'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."
The Libarian international has one time played for Chelsea on loan in 2000 where he scored three goals in 11 games for the Blues.
