Former Newcastle United transfer target Christian Pulisic has hinted he needs a 'new start' following a difficult spell at Chelsea and amid growing speculation over a summer exit. The Magpies 'enquired' about a loan move for the USA international last summer, but have told the Blues they are 'not interested' in a deal in this window according to the Athletic.
Pulisic arrived at Stamford Bridge in a £58 million deal from Borussia Dortmund in January 2019, but has struggled to live up to expectations at the club. The 24-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at Chelsea, and is one of a host of first-team stars tipped to depart with suggestions that a £20m fee would be enough to land the versatile attacker.
Newcastle's current priority is on strengthening the midfield, although they continue to be linked with right-sided forwards. However, the January signing of Anthony Gordon seems to have led to Eddie Howe's attention being turned to other areas of the squad.
