The American influence at Leeds United continues to grow.
The Premier League side managed by former MLS midfielder Jesse Marsch is adding yet another USMNT star to its lineup, as the club announced the signing of Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to buy this summer.
The 24-year-old McKennie rose up through the youth ranks at MLS’s FC Dallas before making the leap to Europe in 2016 with the German Bundesliga’s Schalke. A strong 2019-20 season earned him a loan to Italian power Juventus, where he proved to be a valuable box-to-box player.
