Christian Pulisic handed transfer verdict as Premier League rivals told to gift Chelsea windfall

Former United States international Eric Wynalda has told Christian Pulisic to snub interest from Leeds United and, instead, join Newcastle United. The 24-year-old was heavily linked with an exit from Chelsea in the summer after having fallen out of favour under Thomas Tuchel.

But, even under new management with Graham Potter in the dugout, the winger has struggled to nail down a place in the Blues' starting eleven. Pulisic, who sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expiring in 2024, has featured eight times for the west Londoners in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards two goals.

With an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea, Todd Boehly has seemingly lined Pulisic up as leverage in a deal to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan, reports claim. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the United States international would 'gladly accept' a move to the Rossoneri in January should he be included as part of swap deal for the Portuguese star.
