Christian Pulisic has had a torrid time at Chelsea and has been linked with a departure from the club.
The player has also reportedly been linked with Leeds United and it remains to be seen if Pulisic is prepared to move on in January.
The former Borussia Dortmund winger arrived in 2019 for a fee of around £57m but the move didn’t work out for him. Pulisic has struggled with injury and his role has been limited to cameo appearances at Stamford Bridge, more often than not.
The 24-year-old has scored 26 goals in 125 appearances for the Blues and needs to play more often at this stage of his career. Newcastle could certainly use more quality in the wide areas and Pulisic would be an excellent acquisition for them.
Eddie Howe could help the American resurrect his career with regular first-team football.
Furthermore, Newcastle have an ambitious project and are likely to contend for top honors in the near future. Pulisic might be tempted to join them.
On the other hand, Leeds is a mid-table team that will not be able to live up to the winger’s ambitions.

United States soccer legend Eric Wynalda urged the player to consider a move to Newcastle United.
Wynalda claimed via Newcastle World: “I think if he ends up making a move in January, after the World Cup, I am starting to lean more and more in the direction of Newcastle.
“The things I’m hearing about the money they’re going to spend are interesting. I don’t think Leeds, for example, is a good place for him. That is not a team that is going to score a lot of goals. He will have a lot of quality if he stays at Chelsea, he just won’t have the minutes that would equate to big numbers.”
