West Ham have now made an interesting offer for Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie according to a report from Tuttosport.

Tuttosport first linked the Hammers with a move to sign the 23-year-old Juve ace a few days ago.
Tuttomercatoweb reckon that McKennie is valued at around €30 million (£25 million).
So that fee in itself tells us that West Ham have probably lodged the old favourite loan with an option to buy bid for the United States international.
McKennie would be a quite sensational addition for the Hammers, albeit a very unlikely one.
West Ham make interesting McKennie offer
Tuttosport claims that the Hammers have lodged a bid for the American. It isn’t made clear what kind of offer the East London outfit have made, however.
David Moyes could really do with bolstering his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium. The addition of a midfielder is far from a priority for the Scot, however.
That isn’t to say that McKennie wouldn’t improve us as a team though.
The former Schalke man enjoyed a fine campaign with Juve last term, bagging five goals and two assists in 34 Serie A matches (Who Scored).
During those outings, The United States international averaged one tackle and 0.8 interceptions per game.
The American made 22.2 passes on average and recorded a completion rate of 85.4%.
Everton, Aston Villa and Tottenham are allegedly chasing the 23-year-old as well. So there is plenty of of competition for the Juventus ace’s signature.
