Leeds United-bound Weston McKennie makes NFL admission ahead of Elland Road arrival

Weston McKennie has admitted that he "could have made the NFL" ahead of his reported move to Leeds United in the January transfer window.

Jesse Marsch appears to have found his midfield reinforcement this month as McKennie looks set to become the third arrival at Elland Road in the January window. The American will follow in the footsteps of Max Wober and Georginio Rutter to team up with compatriots Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson at the club - of course under Leeds' American coach as well.

It has been widely reported that the Juventus man will arrive on an initial loan deal that includes an option to buy, meaning that Leeds may have slightly less risk attached to the deal should things not work out. However, it is understood that certain conditions being met - that could include Premier League survival, goals, appearances and assists - can alter the terms of the deal.
