# Tottenham: Weston McKennie eyed in Spurs’ planned Serie A raid

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/transfers/verein/148) so far.

Links have [recently emerged](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/spurs-news-roma-paratici-zaniolo-offer-thfc/) 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](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-djed-spence-tanganga-bryan-gil-b1013249.html).

They could also target [another right-wing-back](https://twitter.com/SeanDZWalsh/status/1550486044008751104) and a [central defender,](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-djed-spence-tanganga-bryan-gil-b1013249.html) 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](https://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/calciomercato-tottenham-conte-fa-la-spesa-in-serie-a-in-quota-skriniar-e-mckennie-i-profili-piu-vicini-agli-spurs-608137), 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](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) 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](https://twitter.com/CNationsLeague/status/1401770588742598660) 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.

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](https://twitter.com/CJSmith91/status/1359534722557353987)).

Depending on Juve’s demands, it sounds like he could be quite the asset at Tottenham if Conte gets his man.
