Mark McKenzie has been a stalwart in Belgian side Genk’s backline since arriving in 2021, but reportedly could be on the move to England in the latest chapter of his club career.
McKenzie is on the radar of Premier League side West Ham United, multiple Belgian outlets reported Thursday. The former Philadelphia Union homegrown defender’s current contract with Genk is set to run until June 2025.
McKenzie, 25, excelled in MLS with the Union before moving to Belgium in January 2021. He made 16 combined appearances during the second half of the season, winning the Belgian Cup that April.
McKenzie has continued to be a regular contributor for Genk over the past three seasons, totaling 117 appearances, five goals and four assists. His impact in Belgium has also led to 13 USMNT caps to date, most recently being part of the CONCACAF Nations League-winning roster last month.
West Ham United are reigning UEFA Europa Conference League winners and remain in this season’s competition. The Hammers are currently seventh in the EPL table, 12 points behind fifth-place Tottenham.
Genk is currently one match into its Belgian Pro League Championship Round schedule and are eight points back of leaders Union St. Gilloise.
