"Since his arrival at Juve, Spalletti has restored McKennie to a starring role. From a simple 'wild card' before, the USA international has now become a key pillar. Since the match against Cremonese, the first of the Spalletti era, McKennie has started every game and has only been subbed off three times. Added to this is his attacking contribution, which has been anything but small: two goals in the league and three in the Champions League, often in key moments."
""McKennie is like a perfect central striker. He fights, he's strong in the air, he has impressive jumping ability, and he makes decisions that get results. He would be an ideal striker." John McKennie, the player's father, also underlined this, taking to social media to highlight his son's moment: "I can say I haven't seen Wes this happy in a long time. The coach has definitely made the difference.""
Weston McKennie has become a regular starter at Juventus since Luciano Spalletti arrived, starting every match since the Cremonese game and being subbed off only three times. He has contributed two league goals and three Champions League goals, often at key moments. Spalletti has used McKennie in varied roles and praised his aerial strength, jumping ability, and decision-making, likening him to an ideal central striker. McKennie's contract runs until June, renewal talks are paused, and several clubs including AC Milan are interested in signing him on a free transfer. His father noted increased happiness under the coach's influence.
