Tottenham are ‘seriously considering’ a move for Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie ahead of the January transfer window.
Fabio Paratici is probably going to be linked with Juventus players in every window now.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski both arrived from Juventus earlier this year and even Cristian Romero is a former Juve player.
Paratici will still have great links to his former club and the main name for January appears to be McKennie.
Tottenham are ‘seriously considering’ Weston McKennie move
It feels like Tottenham are linked with McKennie in every transfer window now.
The American midfielder was signed by Paratici in 2020 as he raided Schalke for the United States international.
McKennie has never quite been a nailed-on starter for Juventus and that has resulted in many Tottenham rumours.
Tuttomercatoweb reported earlier this month that Tottenham want to sign McKennie and Juve are willing to let him leave.
CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs now claims that Spurs are ‘seriously considering’ a January move for McKennie.
Jacobs even suggested that Tottenham actually dropped a hint about their interest.
McKennie featured for the United States against England as the two teams played out a 0-0 draw at the World Cup on Friday night.
Before the game, Tottenham posted a graphic featuring McKennie and Tottenham ace Eric Dier.
Amid so many rumours that the pair could become teammates at Tottenham, Spurs posting that graphic felt somewhat intentional.
McKennie was a threat all night against England as he played on the right of a midfield three, pushing up to press high.
McKennie ultimately should have scored with a golden first-half chance but it looks like Tottenham could pounce for him in January.
That would bolster Antonio Conte’s midfield options with McKennie able to compete with Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg moving forward.
