McKennie has been placed in the shop window since the transfer market opened. The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League but rumoured suitors Aston Villa and Tottenham have not followed up their interest. Tessmann has played his part in helping Venezia return to Serie A for the upcoming season but as a result is drawing interest from some of the league's top dogs.
DID YOU KNOW?
McKennie has made 56 appearances for the USMNT compared to Tessmann's two. The former made his debut all the way back in 2017, whereas the latter earned his first cap in 2021.
