£31m Newcastle target likely to move; he's his country's 'best' ever player

Newcastle United remain linked with Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic ahead of the summer transfer window.

In February, 90Min claimed the Magpies still had the United States international on their radar.

Now, football.london has provided an update on Pulisic amid links with the likes of Newcastle.

The report looked at Chelsea players who could leave this summer. They speculated up to 14 could leave.

Pulisic was among the players who are “probably leaving”. Both the player and club seem keen on parting company.

He has struggled to nail down his place in the side, despite being labelled a ‘superstar’ during his time at Chelsea.

Pulisic, reportedly valued at £31million, has made just eight Premier League starts all season for the under-achieving Londoners.

Football.london said Pulisic ‘is eager to get more first-team football and has become increasingly frustrated with his role with Chelsea.’

‘One of the best’

Pulisic got off to a promising start to his career in England and has shown is a talented player for the USMNT.

Of course, Newcastle already brought in a wide player in Anthony Gordon during the January window.

However, you’d like to think Eddie Howe will be keen to bolster his attacking options further in summer.

And Pulisic could be a really good fit for the Magpies, as he’s a player of the highest quality.

A few years ago, USMNT legend Eddie Johnson said: “He’s the best American player that I’ve ever seen.”

And at the World Cup, ESPN pundit and former US international Herculez Gomez loved what he saw from Pulisic.

“How many goals do the US men’s national team have at the World Cup?” Gomez asked on ESPN.

“Who has been involved in both goals? Goal and assist for Pulisic.

“This man is putting things on his shoulders. He is tired of hearing the rhetoric.

“He’s tired of the narrative of the English Premier League, that he’s not ready and he’s a role player.

“He understands the situation at Chelsea and he wants more.

“He’s playing like a man possessed. He has been one of the best players for the US men’s national team.”
