Tottenham: Weston McKennie eyed in Spurs’ planned Serie A raid
Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte is intent on raiding Serie A as he eyes a move for Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie, according to reports.
The Lowdown: Spurs keep moving…
The Lilywhites are allegedly eager to make even more new signings despite their already busy summer transfer window so far.
Links have recently emerged to the likes of Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo, with reports suggesting that Conte and club chief Fabio Paratici are in the market for a creative midfielder.
They could also target another right-wing-back and a central defender, even despite their signings of Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet on loan and a permanent deal for Djed Spence from Middlesbrough.
According to reports from Italy, it is now believed that McKennie is on their radar as Conte seemingly targets a box-to-box midfielder.
The Latest: McKennie targeted by Spurs…
Indeed, as per Tutto Juve, Conte apparently ‘goes shopping in Serie A’, with the USA international eyed by Spurs.
McKennie is one of the profiles ‘spotted’ by the Premier League club and is described as one of the main targets alongside Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar.
The Verdict: Make the move?
The Juventus ace comes with quite a reputation at international level, with his age also a real incentive for Tottenham to consider bidding.
The 23-year-old still has many years ahead of a promising career, with MLS expert Chris Smith of 90min certainly holding no shortage of glowing endorsements.
Who should Tottenham sign after Spence?
Depay
Zaniolo
Maddison
Torres
He called McKennie a ‘supremely underrated’ talent for the US national team with the potential to become a ‘truly elite midfielder’, alongside being a ‘pressing machine’ (Twitter).
Depending on Juve’s demands, it sounds like he could be quite the asset at Tottenham if Conte gets his man.
