Tottenham Hotspur are looking at Juventus and U.S. Men's National Team midfielder Weston McKennie to boost their midfield for the upcoming season.

Even though they've added some new faces like Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, they’re on the hunt for more experienced players to strengthen their central midfield.

McKennie, who joined Juventus in 2020, has had a varied career with loan spells, including a stint in the Premier League with Leeds United during the latter part of the 2022/23 season.

His experience in English football makes him an attractive target for Tottenham, who are keen to add a seasoned campaigner to their ranks.

According to Express, Tottenham has been keeping a close eye on McKennie's situation at Juventus, where he remains a key player despite being close to leaving the club earlier in the transfer window.

A potential move to Aston Villa was on the cards for the USMNT man, involving a swap deal with Douglas Luiz, but the transfer did not materialize.

With McKennie's contract at Juventus running until 2025, the Italian club might be open to negotiating a transfer, especially if it means securing a favorable deal for the player. Tottenham, long-time admirers of McKennie, see him as an ideal candidate to fill the void left by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who recently departed from Spurs.

The North London club's interest in McKennie reflects their broader strategy to enhance their squad with players who can make an immediate impact. McKennie’s ability to contribute both defensively and offensively in midfield would provide manager Ange Postecoglou with a valuable asset.

His versatility and experience in top-tier football could be instrumental in helping Tottenham compete effectively in the upcoming season.

With the transfer window rolling on, Tottenham's interest in McKennie shows they're serious about beefing up their squad and filling key gaps.

Juventus might be open to negotiating, so Spurs could snag McKennie for a good price. This move could be a win for everyone involved.

Fans and experts will be keeping an eye on whether Tottenham can close the deal and how McKennie might shake up their upcoming season.
