According to the above mentioned bookmakers BetVictor, Liverpool are favourites at the odds of 4/1 to sign him ahead of the London trio of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

Weston McKennie has proven himself to be a utility midfielder that can play as either a defensive midfielder or as a central midfielder.

The American international player has made seven appearances for the national team of the United States of America in addition to 46 appearances in the colours of Bundesliga giants Schalke 04 since he broke into the first team since the start of last season.
