Newcastle United ‘could consider signing Christian Pulisic from Chelsea’

The rumor mill churns around Chelsea and USMNT forward Christian Pulisic, as the American seeks more playing time.

The 23-year-old attacker has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer after falling down the pecking order. 

The club is open to the possibility of bringing in the winger if Chelsea give him their blessing to leave, according to The Athletic.

The report claims that Pulisic is being considered as a wide option if he is made available. 

Meanwhile, according to reports from Italian outlet CMW, Pulisic was offered up by Chelsea in a straight swap deal that would see the American move to Roma in exchange for Nicolo Zaniolo.

However, Roma boss Jose Mourinho seems keen on keeping the young Italian, after stepping in late to block a deal which would see Zaniolo move for $49million to Tottenham.

It seems that for the right price, or the right replacement, Chelsea would be ready to move on from a player that doesn’t seem to have a set place in the starting XI, especially after the acquisition of Raheem Sterling this summer.

Additionally, recent reports from the Guardian claimed Tuchel does not trust Pulisic, who worked with him when they were both at Borussia Dortmund.

Despite his lack of faith, Tuchel may have no choice in the meantime but to use Pulisic as a bench option. 

After the American’s performance in the team’s opening match against Everton, when he was introduced off the bench, NBC’s Robbie Mustoe said he believed Pulisic should demand more playing time.
