Juventus and USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie has been backed over a potential transfer to Arsenal this month despite supporters questioning the move on social media.
Reports earlier in the week claimed that the Gunners were showing an interest in McKennie, who is said to be valued at around £26million. However, Leeds United have since emerged as favourites after agreeing personal terms with the 24-year-old, according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Despite this, Arsenal continue to be linked with the former FC Schalke man and have even made a late move to sign him, Corriere dello Sport claimed this morning. Juventus reporter Nicola Balice has also stated that the player’s agent has been in London for a few days in order to hold talks with various clubs including Arsenal and Leeds.
