Arsenal star Granit Xhaka offers Christian Pulisic unlikely Chelsea transfer hope after $24m call

Christian Pulisic has been given an Arsenal example of how his Chelsea career could still turn around under Mauricio Pochettino. The American is expected to make a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer alongside a host of his teammates but the arrival of the former Tottenham manager complicates things.

Pochettino has not had the chance to train with his squad or to speak with them fully since the end of the season and will now have to wait until just weeks before the pre-season tour of America before he gets to work on the pitch. Nevertheless, it hasn't stopped outgoing progress from being made.

For Pulisic it comes at a time in which he is first needed on crucial international duty with his country. The 24-year-old winger will play the finals of the CONCACAF Nations League for USMNT before taking time away from the game as a whole. "Yeah, it's a tough one," he said when asked how the overhanging issue affects him.
