Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie says he's happy in Turin.

The USA international has been linked with a move to England over the past season.

But McKennie said: “Allegri's words were very important for me. For an athlete it counts a lot to be in a place where you feel wanted, where they need you.

“About a hypothetical transfer away, I've heard all kinds of things, to the point that it is difficult to completely ignore certain rumours.

“My agent and I, however, are in close contact, so I would be the first to know if something is true or not.

“The expectations are the same every season. Juventus are a team that are always called to win everything.

“Most people cannot deny that Juventus are the top club in Italy, so we should win the league, Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana and Champions League, or at the very least, play in the Champions League final.

“A draw for us is like a defeat, our standards are very high. We don't like to lose, we're working to get back to the levels we're capable of. I think the incoming market is very good and next season will be very positive for us."
