A report in the British media is claiming that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign U.S international Weston McKennie from Schalke this January, with a view to losing him on loan next summer.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering Weston McKennie as an option for January. The U.S. international has been linked with a move to the Premier League side in recent weeks, with reports suggesting that he could be signed on loan until the end of the season.,

The January transfer season is rapidly approaching, and consequently, speculation about who will go where is rife. As we approach the winter transfer window in 2022, Transfer Talk gives you all the latest news.
TOP STORY: The Spurs are planning a move for McKennie in January.
According to Calciomercato, Tottenham Hotspur will attempt to buy Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie in the January transfer window.
Antonio Conte is said to be leading the effort, and he is searching for a flexible player in the midfield like McKennie to help him execute his style of play in North London.
This is compounded by the fact that Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele, and Dele Alli are all said to be on their way out of Spurs.
They won’t be able to recruit McKennie on the cheap, since Juventus paid Schalke €4.5 million on loan, then €18.5 million over three years, plus €6.5 million in possible add-ons, to make the deal permanent.
Furthermore, Massimiliano Allegri regards the United States international as a player he can rely on, having used the 23-year-old in the center of midfield and on the right flank 18 times this season, scoring two goals.
If it came down to Allegri, McKennie would remain put, but he isn’t absolutely non-transferable, according to the article.
Given Juventus’ financial difficulties and the club’s need for finances to bring in new players, an offer of €30 million to €35 million may be enough to persuade McKennie to go.

GOSSIP ON PAPER
– According to Diario Sport, Ousmane Dembele will extend his contract with Barcelona next week, with his current agreement expiring in the summer of 2022.
There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the Frenchman’s future, with Juventus, Manchester United, and Liverpool all being connected with him at one point or another. However, according to the source, the winger wants to continue with the Blaugrana and will accept a wage reduction to do so for the next five seasons.
– According to Ekrem Konur, Sevilla are among the teams interested in signing Manchester United forward Edinson Cavani.
The Uruguay striker has attracted a lot of interest ahead of the January transfer window, with Barcelona and Corinthians among the teams interested in luring him away from United.
MLSsoccer.com reports that Leeds United, AC Milan, and RB Leipzig are all interested in signing FC Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson.
However, with Salzburg having advanced to the final rounds of the Champions League, it is thought that a January departure is improbable owing to the US international’s importance to the club’s success.
– According to TeamTalk, West Ham United, Newcastle United, Leeds United, and Brighton & Hove Albion are all interested in signing Orlando City SC forward Daryl Dike.
Dike, who has eight caps for the United States, is also desired by Valerien Ismael of West Bromwich Albion, with whom he previously worked at Barnsley.
– According to Calciomercato, AC Milan is keeping an eye on Bologna left-back Aaron Hickey, who the Rossoneri were interested in while he was at Heart of Midlothian.
The 19-year-old has made an impression in Serie A this season, scoring five goals and attracting interest from Manchester City, Celtic, and Burnley.
