McKennie will join Jesse Marsch’s side as they look to move up the Premier League table.
Leeds United have completed the signing of Weston McKennie on loan until the end of the 2022-23 season.
The 24-year-old will join Jesse Marsch’s side as they look to move up the Premier League table and away from the relegation places in the second half of the season.
49ers Enterprises is Leeds United’s minority shareholder. Leeds are majority owned by club chairman Andrea Radrizzani, but 49ers Enterprises, the investment group behind the San Francisco 49ers NFL franchise, controls over 40 per cent of the Yorkshire club.
The US group has the option to acquire Leeds until January 2024 but they are likely to make a move for the Premier League outfit before then.
Jesse Marsch is the head coach, while former Manchester United coach Chris Armas is his assistant. Armas previously worked at New York Red Bulls.
USA internationals Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson and Weston McKennie are all part of the Leeds squad this season.
