Manchester City could turn their attentions to Bournemouth’s Nathan Ake, should they fail in their pursuit of Harry Maguire.

Therefore,<a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/nathan-ake-emerges-shock-man-17483650?12&amp;_ga=2.264807046.824689401.1562485606-1783694253.1561220445" target="_blank"> the Mirror </a>claim Pep Guardiola could be tempted to part with up to £40 million ($50m) to sign the Dutch defender, while Tottenham are also believed to be monitoring Ake’s situation.

Speaking after USA’s Gold Cup semi-final win over Jamaica, Berhalter said: “He [Pulisic] has the ability to influence the game from different positions and can unlock defences whether as a No 10 or going wide.&nbsp; “With the coaching he’ll get in England, he has an incredibly bright future. “There’s a reason he’s going to the Premier League,” Roldan added. “He not only has quality but also humility. He’s a fantastic guy off the pitch. He’s still a kid but the fact that he bonds with us over the slightest thing is incredible. He doesn’t act like a big star.”

Arsenal are set to turn their attention to Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser after Crystal Palace rejected their enquiry for Wilfried Zaha, reports&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/790240/Arsenal-transfer-news-Unai-Emery-Ryan-Fraser-Wilfried-Zaha" target="_blank">The Daily Star.</a> The Eagles have rebuffed an enquiry of £40 million ($50m) for the Ivory Coast winger, and so Unai Emery will look to Fraser as a less expensive option at £20m ($25m).

Mesut Ozil has emerged as a transfer target for Turkish club Fenerbahce, reports&nbsp;<a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/blog/transfer-talk/79/post/3894051/transfer-talk-ozil-wanted-by-fenerbahce-to-end-arsenal-nightmare" target="_blank">TRT Spor&nbsp;</a><a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/blog/transfer-talk/79/post/3894051/transfer-talk-ozil-wanted-by-fenerbahce-to-end-arsenal-nightmare" target="_blank">(via ESPN)</a>. The midfielder's inconsistent form last season has led to rumours of a move away, and the likelihood of a move to Turkey is at "50-51%". Wages would likely prove to be the biggest barrier to any potential move however, with the 30-year-old reportedly earning £350,000-a-week at Arsenal. TRT Spor&nbsp;journalist Fatih Dogan said: "Fenerbahce president Ali Koc is working very hard to sign him.&nbsp;They are working on it. I think it’s going very well. Right now, I can say the possibility is 50-51% positive.”

Ake would also boost City's home-grown player total, with their current amount of non home-grown players&nbsp;one more than Premier League regulations permit at 18.
