Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been linked with a move for 24-year-old Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie.

Weston McKennie is expected to leave Juventus soon. And Tottenham have been named as a potential destination by Italian journalist Ciro Venerato, as relayed by Tutto Juve.

The journalist has claimed that the 24-year-old American midfielder dreams of a move to Tottenham. And it remains to be seen whether Spurs are prepared to come forward with an offer to sign him.

The 24-year-old has had a mixed spell at Juventus. And a move away from the Serie A club could be ideal for him at this stage of his career. The Italian giants are prepared to cash in on him as well. McKennie will be hoping to secure a move to Tottenham in the coming months. And he could be a useful option for Antonio Conte.

The Italian manager needs to add more depth to his midfield. And the American midfielder will add defensive cover, athleticism, drive and creativity to his midfield. Working with a top-class coach like Conte could help the 24-year-old improve as well. The midfielder is yet to reach his peak, and the Tottenham manager could help him fulfil his potential.

The former Schalke midfielder joined Juventus amid high expectations. But he has failed to establish himself as a key player for the Serie A giants so far. A fresh start could be ideal for the player right now. And a move to Tottenham, who are keen on signing him, could be the change in needs.

The 24-year-old has the technical and physical attributes to thrive in English football, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay up for his services. The north Londoners have a number of quality midfielders. But Conte needs to add some variety to his side.

McKennie is a player who has a different skill set compared to the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur. He could be an interesting option to have for Spurs. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham try and sign the player this month. They are currently chasing a top-four finish, and the right additions in January could help them secure Champions League qualification for the next season.
