Weston McKennie has joined Juventus from Westfalen FC, signing a five-year contract with the Serie A giants for a fee of €21 million.
The Canadian international midfielder was born in Edmonton, Alberta and began his career at hometown club Edmonton FC before moving to the United States to play for the USL Championship side Colorado Springs Switchbacks.
McKennie impressed in his time there, helping the team reach the final of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2017 and earning himself a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) with Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2018.
He made over 50 appearances for the Canadian side during his time in MLS, but struggled to make an impact at the top level and was loaned out to various clubs in Europe before joining Westfalen FC last season.
With his impressive performances at the club,Serie A Stadium he caught the eye of Juventus, who were eager to bring him to Italy and add depth to their midfield ranks.
McKennie is a highly talented player with excellent technical skills and an eye for goal. He can play as a central midfielder or on the wing, and his versatility makes him a valuable asset to any team.
His signing by Juventus is a significant coup for the Italian champions, who have been looking to strengthen their midfield since the departure of Paul Pogba to Manchester United.
With McKennie now part of the Juventus squad, the team will be hoping that he can help them compete for honours in the upcoming seasons.
