Arsenal and Leeds United have stepped up their battle to land Weston McKennie from Juventus, as the player dreams of a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
According to La Repubblica, the American could be heading for the Premier League in the final days of the transfer window.
He has been linked to several English clubs in recent times, notably Spurs, Arsenal and Leeds.
It is believed that Rossoneri coach Massimiliano Allegri finds McKennie ‘tactically and technically difficult to manage’ and is prepared to let him leave.
The Gunners are claimed to have made an offer close to €30 million (£26.34m) for him, which Juventus consider as a ‘very interesting figure’.
On top of it, Jesse Marsch from Leeds appears to have won McKennie’s heart over with his transfer pitch.
Meanwhile, Italian journalist Ciro Venerato revealed last week that McKennie actually dreams of joining Tottenham but they haven’t reportedly tabled any offer yet.
That could give either Arsenal or Leeds an opportunity to sign the midfielder before Tuesday’s deadline.
