    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    McKennie's self-deprecating description is more than a little tounge in cheek. In fact, only two outfield players have played more minutes for the Old Lady in Serie A this season, with Massimiliano Allegri's side now challenging for the title after three seasons outside the top three.

    McKennie's return to Turin after a failed loan stint at Leeds has proved so successful that the Juventus board are preparing an offer to extend his current contract beyond 2025.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR JUVENTUS AND MCKENNIE?

    Juventus are in Coppa Italia quarter-final action against Frosinone tomorrow night. Though McKennie's strong form may seem him rested by coach Massimiliano Allegri for the upcoming Serie A title push.
