# Virals: West Ham named as bidder for Juventus ace Weston McKennie

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/08/27/virals-west-ham-interested-in-cska-moscow-striker-adolfo-gaich/) have reportedly made an ‘interesting offer’ for Juventus midfielder [Weston McKennie](https://readwestham.com/2021/08/26/virals-west-ham-linked-with-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](https://www.juvefc.com/mckennie-not-in-allegris-plans-and-can-be-sold-before-this-transfer-window-closes/) Turin before the end of the current transfer window.

London rivals Tottenham have been [heavily linked](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-transfer-news-weston-mckennie-b1909058.html) 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](https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/serie-a/juventus/calciomercato/2021/08/27-84833406/juve_witsel_ora_aspetta_il_via_di_mckennie_gli_aggiornamenti), as cited by [Sport Witness](https://twitter.com/Sport_Witness/status/1431193112525905922) on Twitter claiming that the Premier League trio have shown strong interest in the American.

The report claims that the [24 times capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/weston-mckennie/profil/spieler/332697) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/weston-mckennie/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/332697) in 46 outings.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £22.5million and under contract until 2025 in Turin ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/weston-mckennie/marktwertverlauf/spieler/332697)), 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](https://talksport.com/football/846100/west-ham-declan-rice-tomas-soucek-worth-lorry-limbs/) 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](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad).
