Tottenham are willing to part with several first-team players this summer, including: Danny Rose, Kieran Trippier, Serge Aurier, Victor Wanyama, Vincent Janssen, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josh Onomah and Marcus Edwards. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7219559/Danny-Rose-heads-eight-man-list-players-available-Spurs-finance-stadium.html" target="_blank">The MailOnline</a> claim Mauricio Pochettino wants to rebuild his squad ahead of the new season, and is hoping to raise additional funds through selling said players.

Manchester City could turn their attentions to Bournemouth’s Nathan Ake, should they fail in their pursuit of Harry Maguire. Having come through the youth ranks at Chelsea, Ake qualifies as a ‘home-grown’ player, something which City lack ahead of the 2019/20 campaign. 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.

Frank Lampard has insisted Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is ‘central’ to his plans at Stamford Bridge. “He [Hudson-Odoi] is going to be central for us on the pitch and that is the opportunity that is really in front of him now,” said Lampard . “So that’s what I will speak to him about and I hope he stays. “I am not going say things that are pie in the sky.

USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter has said new Chelsea signing Christian Pulisic has an ‘incredibly bright future’ in the Premier League. 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.”

Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake has been linked with a surprise move to Premier League champions Manchester City this summer, reports&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/nathan-ake-emerges-shock-man-17483650" target="_blank">The Mirror.</a> The centre-back would cost Pep Guardiola's side around £40 million ($50m) to prize away from the Vitality Stadium, but he is seen as a more viable option than Harry Maguire after Leicester put a valuation of £100m on the defender. 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.
