Aston Villa were heavily linked with a move for Juventus’ Weston McKennie in the summer transfer window.
The USA international, who has played in a host of positions this season for the Italian giants, ended up rejecting Aston Villa and was soon reintegrated into the project at Juventus.
TuttoSport today provide some details about the situation of the 26-year-old, who has arguably been the best player at Juve this season.
The newspaper state that McKennie’s ‘no’ to Aston Villa has changed everything for him. His versatility and reliability has convinced manager Thiago Motta to keep him, and his personality is growing stronger in the group.
He is now one of the leaders at Juventus but the report mentions that interest from England is lingering.
Scouts from Premier League clubs are said to often be at the Allianz Stadium to watch McKennie, whose entourage is speaking to the Turin side about a new deal.
There is no mention about whether Aston Villa are still interested in the American or not, but the indication is that McKennie will sign a new deal at the Bianconeri soon.
