Pulisic is expected to be a key man for the USA at the World Cup in Qatar later this year and he will get the chance to prove his doubters wrong against England in the group stage.

As for Juventus, they have begun the season poorly and could need a new spark in attack as pressure builds on manager Max Allegri.

The Turin based side see Juan Cuadrado and Angel Di Maria’s contract expire at the end of the season and therefore adding Pulisic to the squad may be necessary and Wolves’ Adama Traore.
