THE GOSSIP: The former New England Revolution star is currently under contract with Arsenal, however, is not in the running to start for Mikel Arteta's side. Turner is very unlikely to leave in this transfer window and will more than likely play second fiddle to Aaron Ramsdale.

WHAT NEXT? The USMNT next face off against Panama in the semi-finals of the Gold Cup on Thursday in San Diego, if the Stars and Stripes can make their way through to the final they will face off against the winner of the Jamaica-Mexico game.
