Christian Pulisic was spotted smiling with two Leeds United players yesterday after they beat Chelsea and he’s been linked with a move to Elland Road recently.

Reports have suggested that Leeds hold an interest in signing Pulisic this summer, but he’s apparently not keen on the move.

The American winger watched on for most of yesterday’s game as Leeds thrashed the Blues 3-0 and Marsch’s men put in an exceptional performance.

And after the game had finished, Pulisic was spotted smiling while talking to Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson.

Of course, Pulisic will know the pair very well due to playing for the United States together.

And despite reportedly not being interested in a move to Leeds, he will have been impressed with what he saw from Marsch’s men yesterday.

The White caused Chelsea big problems all afternoon with their high-energy style and ran out deserved winners.

And Pulisic’s international teammates impressed as they played a key role in Leeds’ statement win.

While Adams and Aaronson are thriving at Leeds so far, Pulisic is struggling to nail down a place in Thomas Tuchel’s side.

Since making the switch from Borussia Dortmund back in 2019 for a £58 million fee (BBC), he hasn’t been able to produce consistently.

The Chelsea man has made three substitute appearances for Tuchel’s men this season and got under half an hour on the pitch once again yesterday.

It seems that Pulisic will have to move on this summer to seek regular first-team football and Newcastle United have reportedly shown an interest in the player.

But Marsch recently spoke to Leeds’ website and admitted he wants to manage the player one day.

“Christian [Pulisic] is a big, big talent, the best in our country,” he said.

“The expectations on him are high, he has met a lot of those expectations. But with his talent, people are demanding more.

“Every time I’ve coached against him, he’s scored. I don’t have any negative criticisms.

“I would love to work with him, whether it is with the national team in the distant future. He has created a lot of firsts for American players.”

It remains unclear whether Pulisic would consider a move to Elland Road at this point in time, but Leeds will have certainly left an impression on him yesterday.

With an American contingent building at Leeds, it may be a move that could attract the Chelsea man in the future.
