# Aston Villa: Fans react to Weston McKennie update

**Tottenham would only consider an initial loan move for Aston Villa target Weston McKennie.**

That’s according to [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1430893632240844802), who admitted there are other Premier League clubs keen on the Juventus midfielder, which had a number of Villa fans talking on social media.

McKennie emerged as a player of interest to Villa earlier in the week, with [reports](https://mondobianconero.com/tuttosport-anche-mckennie-guarda-la-premier-tottenham-insiste/?amp&__twitter_impression=true) suggesting both Villa and Crystal Palace had joined Spurs in the race for the 22-year-old.

[Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1430893632240844802) revealed on Thursday that Tottenham aren’t considering any swap deal and would ideally want to sign the [USA international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/weston-mckennie/profil/spieler/332697) on loan.

[Reports](https://mondobianconero.com/tuttosport-anche-mckennie-guarda-la-premier-tottenham-insiste/?amp&__twitter_impression=true) elsewhere have claimed that the Italian giants would want cash offers only for McKennie.

Villa have already made [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transfers/verein/405) big-money signings in Emi Buendia, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings, so McKennie could well be the fourth in a late swoop, should Villa firm up their interest.
