Who is Tim Weah and what's his career path?
Weah grew up in Brooklyn before moving to PSG's youth academy at 14. He debuted in Ligue 1 alongside Mbappé and Neymar, then loan moves to Celtic and Lille before a permanent transfer to French side Lille in 2019. Juventus signed him in 2023 to add pace and width to their attack. He's been a regular contributor in Serie A and a USMNT mainstay since his teens.
What is Tim Weah's playing style?
Weah is straight-line speed and directness. He plays right wing or right wingback, and his job is to stretch defenses with vertical runs. He's not the most technical winger you'll watch — but he's relentlessly hard-working and gets up and down the pitch better than almost anyone. Think a young Raheem Sterling: pace + workrate + improving end product.
What is Tim Weah's role at the 2026 World Cup?
Weah will start on the right wing for the USMNT, balancing Pulisic on the left. His role is to provide width, track back defensively, and stretch defenses with his pace. If the U.S. plays a 4-3-3, he's a guaranteed starter.
