Current interim United States Men's National Team boss Anthony Hudson has no doubts over Weston McKennie's ability to succeed at Leeds United. The USA international arrived at the club last month on a season-long loan and has already made a good impression on the Whites faithful.
The midfielder's relationship with Tyler Adams in the heart of midfield attracted plenty of plaudits at the World Cup in Qatar earlier this season and Jesse Marsch was keen to add McKennie to his roster. However, with Marsch relieved of his duties, the duo will have to flourish in his absence.
The Whites have not won in the Premier League since a 4-3 win over Bournemouth - prior to the winter break for the World Cup. Leeds have strengthened with the arrival of Mckennie, Max Wober and Georginio Rutter, but they're yet to see any rewards.

There have been signs of improvement, but their inability to finish chances in the final third is their current undoing.
Hudson said: "I have no doubt Weston McKennie is going to be a huge player for Leeds. He's an exciting player, he's a top player.
"There were periods last season for Juventus where he was one of their most important players. He's going to do really well in the Premier League."
