Crystal Palace and Aston Villa have joined Tottenham in the race to sign Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie, according to Tuttosport, cited by MondoBiancoNero.com.
And, as to be expected, a number of Palace supporters have been reacting to the update on social media.
Juventus are looking for cash offers for the USA international, with Spurs failing with a swap deal involving Tanguy Ndombele.
Tuttosport, cited by MondoBiancoNero.com, claim that Palace and Villa may have made bids for the 22-year-old, with the Italian giants looking to trim their midfield ranks in the final days of the window.
McKennie is valued at £22.5m by Transfermarkt and Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier in the week that it would take an ‘important bid’ of more than €25/30m for his services.
The Eagles are after a midfielder before the end of the month, so McKennie could be an alternative option to Watford’s Will Hughes.
Palace fans react
@CPFCtransfersHQ shared the recent claim on McKennie on Twitter. This is what these Palace fans had to say in reply, with one describing a possible transfer as 'absolutely incredible'.
“Imagine”
“no way”
“This would be unreal”
“would be absolutely incredible”
“If we get him it’s over”
“Loool we can dream”
