Newcastle remain interested in Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic ahead of the January window according to The Mail. The American was one of a number of Blues Newcastle reportedly sought to bring in on loan over the summer.

Reports at the time claimed Pulisic was devastated that he wasn’t allowed to leave Stamford Bridge on loan sensing his opportunities would be limited again under then-manager Thomas Tuchel. After the German’s sacking in September, Brighton’s Graham Potter was appointed to right the ship.

Pulisic saw a slight uptick in chances making 5 of his 6 starts since Potter’s arrival. However, the Chelsea squad is a tough one to crack and starts have remained elusive for the former-Dortmund star.

Pulisic is entering the final 18 months of his contract with no talks on the horizon for an extension. The Mail suggests Chelsea could be open to offloading Pulisic in January should an offer approaching his £35m valuation arrives.

It is unlikely Newcastle make a permanent move for the United States international in the winter window. Though a loan with a purchase option could be a tempting proposition for all parties involved.

Manchester United and Arsenal are also keen on Pulisic, who starred for the US over the weekend in the scoreless draw against England. It seems a long shot Pulisic will land on Tyneside, though he would be a superb addition to Eddie Howe’s squad if some sort of an agreement can be reached.

if Christian Pulisic struggles to get a game for Chelsea he’s not going to have much chance at Newcastle. what position does he play and whose place would he take? that question is for google.

“Christian Pulisic plays as an attacking midfielder or winger”
he seemed to be on the left wing against England. he could help Murphy cover for St Maximim when he is injured.

Scythe you’re above me by 8 points and we’re duking it out for top spot mate. Still a long way to go. I think any low scoring players you can sub out for players on your bench that haven’t played yet. Same way with the captain too I believe?

Canadas manager, John Herdman, is a TOON. Fan.
Can we have a look at your too wide front men please?

Too bad Canada didn’t at least tie Belgium. They have to win today and get a result from Morocco. That may be just enough. They have some pretty good players. Maybe John should replace Southgate?

“Christian went and played for a nearby club team called Brackley Town [whose senior team play in England’s sixth tier],”
first team Pulisic played for. didn’t expect that.

Jane:He’s already done that with the Canadian women’s team and they won olympic gold last time out. Would be better than Southgate.

France fans barely noticed the existence of Graham Souness until yesterday and his “kind” words about Olivier Giroud…
Needless to say, it was not much appreciated on this side of the channel.

An update on my health situation - we have terminated the PluVicto treatment halfway through, because of the severity of the side effects - diarrhea, vomiting, and acid reflux.

And there was no evidence the treatment was having any positive effect in stopping the prostate cancer from spreading in the bones.

There are no treatments left for me to go on.

I will go into home hospice care now and will have a hospice nurse visit me at home regularly to ensure I am as comfortable as possible and we will treat the side effects of the treatments I have had.

It's down the final stretch now, and I have run out of treatments, and nature will now take its course.

I hope Newcastle can get many wins this season from now on, and I am at peace with all of this.

Thanks for all your help through the years - it's very much appreciated
