Tottenham boss Conte eyeing Juventus midfielder McKennie

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is eyeing Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie.

Conte is a big admirer of £17m-rated McKennie and is keen to bring him to Tottenham in January, says Calciomercato.com.

Spurs’ sporting director Fabio Paratici, 49, also rates McKennie highly, having initially signed him for Juventus on loan in August 2020.

But McKennie, 23, has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under Juve boss Max Allegri and has been in and out of the team of late.

The Bianconeri were prepared to let him leave in the summer for a fee upwards of £20m, despite having only made his loan permanent in March.
