West Ham have reportedly made an ‘interesting offer’ for Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a host of clubs during the summer and is widely expected to leave Turin before the end of the current transfer window.
London rivals Tottenham have been heavily linked with a move for the USA international recently, but it’s the Hammers, Aston Villa and Everton who have made their move.
That’s according to a report from Tuttosport, as cited by Sport Witness on Twitter claiming that the Premier League trio have shown strong interest in the American.

The report claims that the 24 times capped McKennie has ‘a lot of market’ from England.
Last season the American was only on loan from Schalke in Italy, scoring six and assisting three other goals in 46 outings.

Valued at £22.5million and under contract until 2025 in Turin (Transfermarkt), signing McKennie would be a superb acquisition this summer for the Irons.
Although much of the focus has rightly been on defensive and attacking arrivals throughout the window, Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek were tested to their limits last season.
Landing an additional high-quality option, capable of being involved from the start, would be a huge coup for David Moyes’ squad.
