Tottenham keen on Weston McKennie
The midfield department of the Tottenham squad needs quality additions this winter.
The latest reports in Italy suggest that Tottenham are keen on Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie.
The 23-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.
The United States international was signed by Juventus in July 2021 from Schalke 04 for a fee of 20.5 million euros. He has a contract until 2025 with the club.
The midfielder has featured in 13 matches this term, netting two goals in all competitions.
The 23-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in United States. His record for United States is impressive. Weston McKennie has scored 7 goals in 27 matches for USA at senior level.
McKennie is believed to be available for transfer, with Antonio Conte now keen to bring him to Tottenham. Conte is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him this winter. This approach of signing exciting talent from different parts of the globe can reap rewards for Tottenham in the future.
There is no doubt that Weston McKennie will take Tottenham’s midfield to a different level.
According to the report, “Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is eyeing Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie. Conte is a big admirer of £17m-rated McKennie and is keen to bring him to Tottenham in January, says Calciomercato.com. Spurs’ sporting director Fabio Paratici, 49, also rates McKennie highly, having initially signed him for Juventus on loan in August 2020. But McKennie, 23, has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under Juve boss Max Allegri and has been in and out of the team of late. The Bianconeri were prepared to let him leave in the summer for a fee upwards of £20m, despite having only made his loan permanent in March.”
