Weston McKennie, the American footballer who has recently joined Juventus, is set to make his debut in Serie A for the Italian club this weekend. The midfielder made his name at the US Major League Soccer (MLS) level before moving to Juventus last summer.
McKennie was born in the United States but grew up in Germany and played for several German clubs including Borussia Mönchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt before joining Juventus in January 2019. He made his debut for the Italian giants during their 2-0 win over Udinese in the Coppa Italia semi-finals last month.
McKennie's move to Juventus has been a long time coming. He had previously expressed interest in joining the Italian champions but it wasn't until he signed with Bayern Munich that he became a real possibility. However, after failing to secure a transfer, he eventually ended up signing for Juventus in January 2019.
McKennie is known for his technical skills and ability to play both as a central midfielder and a wide player. He has also been praised for his leadership qualities, which have seen him become a key member of the Juventus squad.
With his latest transfer news, McKennie will be looking to continue his impressive form for Juventus in Serie A. With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala already established in the side, McKennie will need to work hard to establish himself as a regular starter. But if he can continue to impress, there is no doubt that he will go on to have a successful career at Juventus and beyond.
