"Right now, yes, I'm happy here. One of the things you dream about is playing in a great club with an important history, with many fans, the atmosphere.

"But football is such an unpredictable sport, you have your ups and downs. I have learned in so many different ways that football is big business and if you can't perform at a club like Juventus, replacing you is as easy as signing you.

"Now I'm happy, I'm doing well and I hope to continue, but no one knows what the future holds."

"

My mom told me that my grandmother had bought me the whole collection of Harry Potter books. I was very happy, I loved the designs on the covers,"

he said.

McKennie also mentioned his mother’s advice that she keeps providing him with while he features at Juve:

"My number one fan? Yes, sure, still today. She still sends me the messages before and after the games.

“'Today you look a bit heavy, you have to be faster, defend better' or 'You played well, nice goal, you surprised me.'

"I always tell her 'Mom, you don't know anything about football!' and she replies 'I've been around the fields as much as you have!'"
