Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie is now expected to stay at the Serie A club when the January transfer window opens, according to reports in the Italian media.

It was reported earlier this month that Juve were open to selling the American international in the New Year for around €30m (£25m), with West Ham and Tottenham said to be interested in the player.

However, McKennie has worked his way back into the first-team reckoning since the last international break, and he is now unlikely to leave Italy in the near future.

Manager Max Allegri has started the 23-year-old in four of Juventus’s last five matches, including the 2-1 home defeat to Sassuolo last weekend where McKennie got on the scoresheet.

The American has been on a number of clubs’ radar, with the likes of Arsenal, Aston Villa and Everton having reportedly scouted the midfielder, in addition to the Hammers and Spurs.
