Newcastle United are hoping to make Chelsea’s USA star Christian Pulisic their next statement signing.
Pulisic’s game time at Stamford Bridge has been restricted under new boss Graham Potter and having been in the spotlight during the World Cup the 24-year-old doesn’t want to return to the shadows. Manchester United and Arsenal are monitoring the situation but would prefer to bring in Pulisic on loan.
Chelsea would prefer to sell and the asking price would probably start at around £40million. Although Newcastle, riding high under Eddie Howe, are prepared to bid they would hope to knock down the fee. Their January transfer window priority is a wide running player with Leeds United’s Jack Harrison and Brighton's Leandro Trossard still options.
