Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in acquiring Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie. The American international, previously linked with a Premier League move to Aston Villa, has turned down the West Midlands club. According to Football Insider, Tottenham have initiated talks with Juventus for a potential £15 million transfer.
McKennie, 25, would bring goals and creativity to Spurs’ midfield, having recorded 10 assists across all competitions last season. His experience in the Premier League with Leeds United could be an asset for Tottenham, who are seeking midfield reinforcement, especially with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg potentially departing this summer. Hojbjerg has seen his playing time diminish and may need to move on to find regular action.
The addition of McKennie would bolster Tottenham’s depth in midfield. Spurs have an ambitious project and a talented squad, which could attract McKennie as he seeks to prove himself in English football and compete at the highest level. The midfielder, approaching his peak years, might find Tottenham a suitable platform for his aspirations.
Securing McKennie for £15 million could be a smart investment for Tottenham, potentially developing him into a key player for the club in the coming seasons.
