Marseille's Liberian international forward George Weah is set to sign a one-year contract at former club Monaco, said Monaco officials today.

The 34-year-old Weah, the 1995 World Footballer of the Year, was at the Principality club today to discuss terms and complete the deal.

Weah signed a one-year deal with Marseille in October after a short spell with Manchester City in the English Premiership.

He announced in March he would leave the perennially crisis-stricken Marseille club at the end of the season.

Weah last played for Monaco between 1988 and 1992.
