Premier League sides Fulham and Nottingham were also eyeing a move for the 24-year-old. However, the player had already agreed on a move to Elland Road.
It is a brilliant move for the Juventus man, who will also be joining his fellow American teammates, Brendon Aronson and skipper Tyler Adams. Furthermore, he’ll also get managed by fellow countryman Jesse Marsch. This is quite exciting for the USMNT, as fans will be witnessing a small reunion at the Premier League.

Leeds is currently sitting at 15th and is looking to reinforce their squad with key signings. Marsch is being criticized for his job at Elland Road, thus he’ll be looking to get his side back. Moreover, the addition of McKennie will give the 49-year-old enough depth for the center half of the pitch.
Fans react to the get-together
McKennie’s transfer to Leeds will bolster Jesse Marsch’s side. Moreover, a mini-USMNT get-together has become the talk of the town for netizens. Hence, the soccer world has been reacting to this on Twitter.

This is huge. It’s not just three Americans. It’s three of the starting XI! Americans will naturally have a soft spot for Leeds – those who’ve gotten into the premier league the last 3-4 years. It will be hard not to love this team.
