Weah on Juventus move: A blessing to play for such a beautiful club

Timothy Weah is delighted with his first days at Juventus.

The USA wing-back has arrived from Lille.

"It's a blessing to play for such a beautiful club," Weah told fans on a live Twitch interview.

“A few months before getting the call from Juve I was playing football on my video game console, and my player was on Juventus. Then when I was told that Juve were coming to watch me and I played really well – it was something in the air that day. Once they were interested I knew I was gonna do whatever it took to get here."

He also said: “If I have to pick a favourite teammate already it's Weston (McKennie) because I've known him for years and we have super close relationship, but also Moise and Federico Gatti. I like Fede, he's very genuine and I play right beside him. He's always willing to help me and when you move to a new club it's always a beautiful thing to have that in a teammate."
