Hammers set to battle it out with London rivals

|

New reports claim Juventus have revealed their valuation for midfielder Weston McKennie, with West Ham, Arsenal and Spurs said to be interested in the player.

The Premier League pair have been linked with the 23-year-old for some time. And it was reported earlier this week that Juventus are prepared to sell to raise funds and the USA international may be set to leave. He moved to Turin on a season-long loan in the summer of 2020. But the Serie A giants made it permanent before the season had finished.

The Italian club paid German club Schalke €18.5 million, plus €6.5 million in potential bonuses, giving him a four-year contract. Having made 34 league appearances in 2020-2021, McKennie has seen plenty of action this term.

Other clubs to have been mentioned in connection with the player include Everton and Aston Villa. But the Hammers seem near the front of the queue for the man capped 25 times by America.
