Player ‘requested’ by Tottenham following Conte’s specific desire – Club have ‘clear plan in mind’

Tottenham Hotspur signed Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski in January as the duo arrived at the north London club from Juventus.

Antonio Conte’s side are reportedly looking at the Turin club again for the next window as Weston McKennie is on their agenda.

On April 13th, we carried a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, who stated the ex-Chelsea manager has made an explicit request to Tottenham Hotspur to sign the 23-year-old.

It was also explained that Spurs chief Fabio Paratici wants to satisfy the coach’s request by signing McKennie in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in the USMNT midfielder is now discussed by Calciomercato.

Having added Dušan Vlahović and Denis Zakaria to their squad in January and deciding to cut ties with Paulo Dybala after this season, the Old Lady’s intention is to start a new cycle, starting from the upcoming window.

It’s claimed the ‘changes will also affect the midfield’, where some of their players could leave after this campaign. They further add the former Schalke man is among the ‘most requested’ players.

Tottenham are mentioned as Conte’s side are one of the clubs who could have ‘requested’ to sign McKennie.

Calciomercato explain Juventus have a ‘clear plan in mind’ for the American but does not provide any insight as to what that is exactly.
