Weston McKennie has scored seven goals since Juventus appointed Luciano Spalletti at the end of October, resulting in the highest-scoring Serie A midfielder across all competitions.

USMNT international McKennie has proved to be a real added value for Juventus over the last three months.

As reported by Opta on X social media, the American is the Serie A midfielder with the most goals scored across all competitions since the end of October. McKennie has netted seven times for Juventus under Spalletti.

McKennie had only provided one assist in 10 appearances under Luciano Spalletti’s predecessor, Igor Tudor, in the first part of 2025-26, making five appearances as a starter.

McKennie’s Juventus future remains uncertain as his contract expires in June 2026.

Recent reports in Italy, however, suggest that the two parties are open to reaching an agreement over a new deal, particularly after McKennie’s impressive performances under the new Juventus coach.

McKennie has also provided four assists under Spalletti, contributing to 11 goals in 22 appearances with the Tuscan in charge.
