Juventus and USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie has been backed over a potential transfer to Leeds United this month despite supporters questioning the move on social media.
Reports earlier in the week claimed that Tottenham 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.
Leeds are confident that they will be able to strike a deal for McKennie because they are ‘convinced’ that they do not have strong competition to sign the 24-year-old. Arsenal and Spurs have both been linked with the USA international but appear to be prioritising other players – perhaps aware that McKennie is keen on the move to Leeds, according to the Express.
