Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are determined to sign Weston McKennie from Juventus in the January transfer window and are pressing ahead with their interest in the USA international midfielder, according to Tuttosport.
The report in the Italian publication has claimed that Tottenham are keen on bringing McKennie to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the middle of the season.
Contacts between Tottenham and the midfielder’s entourage ‘are increasing through intermediaries’, according to the report.

Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has also been impressed by McKennie, telling The Sun last week that he is “strong on the ball and also has a few tricks up his sleeve”.
The Juventus star is playing for the USA at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
