Timothy Weah is excited with his move to Juventus.

The former Lille attacker joins Juve a fee rising to 12m.

The son of AC Milan great George Weah, Timothy said: I'm excited, honoured, blessed, it's a childhood dream. It's one of the biggest clubs in the world, if not the, so I'm super proud to be Bianconeri.

Just everything about the club, the history, the players, the coaching staff and the belief that everyone had in me. I feel at home here. The fans, as you saw they came and supported me at the medical. I'm just happy and excited to get started.

The history of my family and my dad playing for Milan, that in itself is huge, and now his son gets the opportunity to be in Serie A and play for one of the greatest clubs. It's wonderful.

It's one of his favourite clubs, he supports Juventus, he's crazy about them, so it really made the choice easy for me."

Weah, 23, also said: I am a really intense player, I love to make runs, cross and deliver, so with the teammates that I have, hopefully I can benefit from that, help those guys score goals and play beautiful football.

Personally, I'm a workhorse, I work for the team and hopefully the fans will appreciate my hard work.

I definitely have a preferred position, it would have to be wing-back, and that's probably where I'll play here. I'm super excited. It's a new position for me, but it's something that I like. Having experience of playing striker on the wing, I think that benefits me a lot. Wherever the coach needs me and the team needs help, I am happy.

I hope to achieve great things. We have a beautiful team, beautiful club, coaching staff the people who work behind the scenes. We just have to put in the work and hopefully achieve great things."
