On Tuesday, Gianluca Di Marzio explained Leeds United are interested in Weston McKennie and have made first contact with Juventus over a potential deal in the winter market.

Later that day, Sky Italia journalist Luca Marchetti told TMW Radio the chances of the 24-year-old joining the Whites depend on what offer they will present to the Serie A side.

A fresh report from Sky Italia now claims the US midfielder has ‘said yes to Leeds’, who have been in contact with the Turin club over the past few days.

After the ex-Schalke man gave his approval, the ball is in the Premier League side’s court, who must ‘find a way to convince’ Juventus to part ways with McKennie. The Italian club will not sign a replacement for the American if he were to seal a move to Leeds in January.

Sky don’t make it clear whether Jesse Marsch’s side and the Old Lady are discussing a loan deal or permanent sale, but they do state McKennie is ‘getting closer’ to the Premier League.

McKennie would find his compatriots, Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams, and manager Jesse Marsch, if he were to complete a move to Leeds.
