It’s a risk, but it’s a risk worth taking for David Moyes. West Ham United manager would love to sign Juventus’ American midfielder Weston McKennie in January. The talented 23-year-old was on the Hammers’ radar in the last transfer window, but the transfer never materialized. However, the latest development suggests that Juventus are ready to do business.Thursday, 22.00: (1.27) West Ham (6.75) Rapid (11.0)Just a few months ago, Juventus spent $22.55 million to sign McKennie from German club Schalke 04 after an initial year-long loan. He’s done enough to impress then-manager Andrea Pirlo. But the problem is that Pirlo is no longer at the club.McKennie has already got a reputation of being a bit of a wild one. Recently, he was suspended by the US National Team because he breached Covid-19 protocols before their matches against Canada and Honduras. And what’s even more of a problem, there are rumours that the American’s had an argument with Juventus’ new boss Massimiliano Allegri.West Ham are interested in a move for Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie, according to reports.#WHUFC #COYI pic.twitter.com/KRRQ8pypY3— West Ham Fan Zone (@WHUFCFZ) September 29, 2021 The Italian manager even publicly criticised the former Schalke man for not taking his chances against Spezia recently. He said that McKennie should have scored at least four goals in a game where he didn’t find the net once. Saturday, 19.00: (4.40) Torino (3.50) Juventus (1.95)Moyes will be aware of everything that’s been going on with the American midfielder, but it apparently still sure that bringing him to Goodison Park would be a risk worth taking. A midfield trio of Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek and Weston McKennie would arguably make West Ham a lot stronger than they are now. However, there will surely be other clubs interested in his services if he becomes available in January.
