Weston Mckennie going into the summer of 2020. The rumor mill strongly suggested that Schalke's Weston Mckennie was destined for southampton. I was surprised when the americans somehow landed at Juventus. It seemed a poor fit with Rabiot, Bentenka, Ramsey and Artur at the club.
I couldn't work out how our man with no outstanding stats, who had just finished 12th in Germany was going to get on the field let alone improve the italian champions. But Mckennie has been a bright light in a dismal season, for the bianconeri racking up even more minutes than Ramsey, Artur and Dybala. He's making more tackles and interceptions than ever before, despite playing in a side with 56% of the ball.

He's found his shooting boots too with six goal involvements. Better only by Kieza, Morata and Ronaldo while still a middling passer. He's a dynamic runner. He's an example to the veterans around him, making 22 pressures per 90 to top the rank of the squad and 12th in syria his growth led UVA to make his move permanent for just 19 million euros in Match. No, doubt a relief for Mckennie given Schalke's trajectory
