Weston McKennie could be trading Italy for England in the January window.

The January transfer window is fast approaching and there is a lot of gossip on who is moving where. As we count down to the winter window in 2022, Transfer Talk brings you the latest news.

Spurs are planning a January move for McKennie.

According to Calciomercato, Spurs will try to sign Weston McKennie in the January transfer window.

The charge is being led by Antonio Conte, who is looking for a versatile player like McKennie in the middle to help implement his style of play in North London.

Dele Alli, Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele, and possibly others, could be on their way out of Spurs.

They won't be able to sign him on the cheap, after they paid 5 million to sign him on a loan, then 18.6m over three years, and 6m in add-ons, to make the move permanent.

The United States international has been used in the centre of midfield and on the right wing 18 times this season by Massimiliano Allegri, who sees him as someone he can call upon.

The story says that if it was down to Allegri, McKennie would be staying.

The Italian outlet suggests that an offer of 30m to 35m could be enough to convince McKennie to leave.

There is a preview of the transfer window. Is Haaland leaving?

LaLiga, MLS, FA Cup, more are included in the guide.
