McKennie is keen to test himself in the Premier League after spending his career so far in the Bundesliga and Serie A.

The versatile midfielder is a mainstay of the Juventus XI and made 46 appearances last season, which yielded six goals and three assists.
West Ham are in the market for a midfield anchorman who could potentially replace Declan Rice.
