Tottenham eye move for Juventus' £34m-rated Weston McKennie - but Italian giants may keep American as midfield cover after summer signing Paul Pogba's knee injury

Tottenham are interested in signing Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie - but their hopes may be dashed after Paul Pogba's injury.

The Premier League side have been keen on the American for more than a year as they aim to strengthen their midfield.

Juventus would be willing to sell McKennie for around 40million euros (£34m), but their plans are complicated by a knee injury to new signing Pogba - which might mean the Italian giants keep McKennie around as cover.

Spurs managing director of football Fabio Paratici was at Juve when he brought McKennie to the club from Schalke, initially on loan, and the Washington-born star is up there as one of his best signings at the club.
