NEWCASTLE UNITED are keeping tabs on Christian Pulisic – and they’re also reportedly interested in signing his Chelsea team-mates Callum Hudson-Odoi and Conor Gallagher.
The American’s future at Stamford Bridge was recently thrown into major doubt following the Blues’ shock signing of England international Raheem Sterling.
Pulisic struggled to hold down a place in the west Londoners’ starting XI last season and could find himself warming the subs bench this campaign.
And Newcastle are reportedly willing to offer him regular first-team football should Chelsea deem him to be surplus to requirements.
That’s according to The Athletic, who claim the Magpies “would consider” a swoop for the USA international if Chelsea make him available.
Toon boss Eddie Howe is also said to be interested in signing Blues stars Hudson-Odoi and Gallagher – who are also far down the Stamford Bridge pecking order.

It’s claimed Howe has asked Chelsea to “keep them informed” of whether or not they plan to let the duo leave the club this summer.
Pulisic featured prominently in Chelsea’s pre-season tour of America, during which Tuchel hinted the winger would have a prominent role to play this campaign.
He said: “For sure, it’s the first time in the U.S. since I’m in Chelsea. We can see everybody is excited about Christian.
“He is an American international player and captain for America, and he is an important player for us.
