Soccer Insider Report: Premier League Interest in Weston McKennie

As anticipation builds ahead of the United States men’s national team’s friendly against Panama, attention is focused on the potential transfer of Schalke midfielder Weston McKennie to a Premier League club. While Liverpool has shown keen interest in the talented midfielder, sources indicate that several other Premier League clubs are also monitoring McKennie closely.

McKennie, who has been making waves with his performances in the Bundesliga, is garnering attention from various Premier League clubs, with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool among them. Set to represent Schalke in the Champions League round of 16 against Manchester City, McKennie’s stock has risen significantly since his move to Germany in 2016. The 20-year-old midfielder, with 45 appearances for Schalke, has displayed maturity beyond his years, coupled with confidence, speed, creativity, and physical prowess, making him an attractive prospect for Premier League sides.

While there is still a possibility of a transfer occurring in the January window, McKennie’s prominent role at Schalke suggests that he may remain with the club for the time being. His consistent performances have undoubtedly caught the eye of top-flight British clubs, further fueling speculation about his future.

In other news, USMNT defender Reggie Cannon, amidst interest from Liga MX teams, is expected to stay with FC Dallas for the foreseeable future. Despite potential suitors, Cannon is set to continue with FC Dallas when the MLS season kicks off, providing a boost for the club.

However, Marcelo Allende’s proposed move to the Colorado Rapids has hit a snag. Negotiations between Allende and the Rapids failed to progress swiftly, leading to the collapse of the deal. As a result, the young Chilean attacking midfielder is set to remain with Necaxa for the time being, with his focus currently on the South American U-20 Championship.
