Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie, according to reports, and the Italian giants are prepared to sell him in January.

Antonio Conte has made several signings from Serie A since taking charge at Spurs, including two from his former employers Juve: Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur.

McKennie could be the next player to swap Turin for Tottenham after a difficult season so far.

Calciomercato reports that the United States international will leave Juve in 2023,  as the Bianconeri are ready to listen to offers.

Spurs are said to be very interested in the 24-year-old, who has been with the Old Lady since July 2021.

McKennie has a contract until 2025 at the Allianz Stadium, but has struggled for form this season under Massimiliano Allegri, like many of his team-mates. 

The Bianconeri have had a sluggish start to the campaign and sit eighth in the standings, 10 points off top, while they need a miracle to reach the last 16 of the Champions League following a shock defeat to Maccabi Haifa.

McKennie has made 13 appearances this season, scoring one goal, and is likely to be part of the USA squad at the World Cup in Qatar next month.
