However, Tuttosport revealed a few days ago that it is Borussia Dortmund, not Spurs, who are leading the race for the USA international in January.
If CalcioMercato’s latest update is to be believed, Spurs might have even more competition to contend with for McKennie’s signature.
The report backs up Tottenham and Dortmund’s interest in the 24-year-old, stating that Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are both fans of the player.
It is also revealed that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly also wants to bring the midfielder to Stamford Bridge as he is keen on increasing the American connection at the West London club.
In addition, it is asserted that Aston Villa have also expressed an interest in McKennie, and that Juventus are hoping to make around €30m (£25.8m) from the former Schalke man’s sale.
Spurs Web Opinion
McKennie will likely have several options to choose from and the one thing that could work against Spurs is the fact that the midfielder will not be guaranteed regular game time at the North London club.
After his struggles at Juve, the 24-year-old might be conscious about choosing a club for whom he will be a regular starter. Perhaps Paratici would try to convince the American that he can become a starter at Spurs.
