Arsenal join Man Utd, Newcastle watching Pulisic situation at Chelsea

Manchester United and Newcastle United are ready to make offers for Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic.

Pulisic is entering the final 18 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and there has been no noise from Chelsea or the player's camp regarding a potential renewal.

United and Newcastle both made enquiries in August and, along with Arsenal, are among those monitoring developments, says the Daily Mail.

Chelsea are considering whether it would make more economic sense to cash in on the 24-year-old during the January window rather than allow his contract to run down to the final 12 months and his value depreciate further.

The USA international has been lauded for his displays against Wales and England in their opening Group B encounters and was FIFA's man of the match following Friday's 0-0 draw with Gareth Southgate's men. The 24-year-old was influential as the USA took the upper hand against England, almost scoring with a first half shot that rattled Jordan Pickford's bar and earning praise from Liverpool's Jordan Henderson afterwards.

USA observers even hailed his performance as 'heroic' and say Pulisic has benefited during the tournament from playing under a coach in Gregg Berhalter that trusts and fully believes in him.
