Newcastle United have shown an interest in persuading Chelsea to sanction a deal which would involve Christian Pulisic heading to St James’ Park, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. The Magpies have spent close to £60million drafting in Nick Pope and Sven Botman, along with Matt Targett permanently, but head coach Eddie Howe could secure further reinforcements ahead of the September 1 deadline.
According to the Telegraph, Newcastle have expressed an interest in signing Pulisic as well as three of his Chelsea team-mates.
The report suggests Callum Hudson-Odoi, Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja have joined the 51-cap United States international on the Magpies’ shortlist, but transfer regulations mean they can only sign one player on loan from the west Londoners and they have financial restrictions on the number of permanent signings they can make.
However, it seems that Newcastle are not the only side in the hunt for Pulisic, who joined Chelsea in a £58million deal from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in 2019.
