Jamie Carragher has admitted he is “surprised” Christian Pulisic did not leave Chelsea last month. Speculation surrounded the American’s future all summer, with Newcastle United one of several clubs linked.
It was no secret the Magpies were aiming to bolster their attacking options in the final few weeks of the transfer window. Alexander Isak completed a record-breaking move but Newcastle failed to recruit a desired wide player.
The resurgence of Miguel Almiron has softened the blow but Eddie Howe was thought to be keen on signing Pulisic. Arriving at Stamford Bridge from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, the winger has impressed for the Blues but struggled to showcase consistency.
