LAFC defender Giorgio Chiellini has no doubts former Juventus teammate Weston McKennie can succeed with Juventus.

Chiellini was McKennie's captain for two years at Juve before leaving for Los Angeles FC this summer.

He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Wes is a fantastic number 8, he has speed and power, he likes to attack and he has a sense of goal.

"It's not easy to find a mezzala who scores as much as he does.

"At 24 he can still improve a lot, I hope he stays with Juve for a long time and helps us win trophies."
