Weston McKennie admits his move to Juventus has been "jaw-dropping".

The USA midfielder joined Juve last week from Schalke.

He told ESPN, “It was definitely jaw-dropping, walking into the locker room and seeing the players you play with on PES, it was like 'Oh My God!' I think I can learn so much from these people and they have definitely taken me under their wing.

“Of course it wasn't a secret that my goal was to make it to the Premier League, but having said that, when a team like Juventus comes in with the calibre of players that they have, the training staff, hearing Pirlo's going to be the new coach, that made it all the more appealing.

“This is a club that wins titles, that challenges with the best in the world and that's what I want to do. It's a club full of tradition, supported by many and it was very intriguing to come here.

“It's been honestly a big honour to play with Cristiano Ronaldo. I still remember the first time I met him, I was walking down the hallway and I was like, oh snap, be cool… be cool…

“He's a really genuine guy, straight to the point, he wants to win, he has a great mentality and we also joke around, he calls me Texas Boy. For a player with all the accomplishments in his career, he could be snobby and stuck up, but he's very open and warm and brings all the players into the game no matter what age you are."
