Weah told La Gazzetta dello Sport’s Sportweek: “Of course I am focused on Lille, but it has always been my ambition to one day play in a great league like Serie A and, in particular, for a big club like Milan, which is part of my family history after all.”

“[My dad] never talks about it openly, but when I was a child, there was the idea of playing for the Rossoneri’s youth teams. Things went differently, but maybe I’ll arrive at Milan anyway.”

“Things go so fast in football, and you never know.”

Weah who joined Jocelyn Gourvennec’s side from PSG in June 2019 has netted five times only in 64 appearances in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Weah who registered three assists has not been too lucky to score this season despite starting 10 games out of his 19 appearances so far.
