​West Ham plotting January deal for Juventus midfielder McKennie

West Ham are showing serious interest in doing a deal to sign Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie.

The all-action American international is not likely to remain at Juventus for very long, considering he is not suited to the style of play of new manager Massimiliano Allegri.

According to Football Insider, West Ham have already opened talks with the Juve hierarchy about a possible January or summer move for the 23-year-old.

There is a possibility that West Ham may see McKennie as an eventual replacement for Declan Rice.

While West Ham want to hold onto Rice, they are aware that both Manchester United and Chelsea are keen on the England international.
