CHRISTIAN PULISIC is reportedly “set to lead a summer clearout” at Chelsea.
The American winger, 24, joined the Blues from Borussia Dortmund back in 2019.
The star has tasted Champions League success in West London but he has struggled for regular action.
And this term he has been restricted to 21 outings, most from the bench, and just one goal.
Chelsea’s record January transfer outlay led to them bringing in EIGHT new players in.
They include a whopping £107m upfront with a potential further £4m to follow in add-ons to Benfica for Enzo Fernandez.

And the arrival of Ukrainian Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk has only added more competition for minutes on the pitch.
Pulisic has entered the final 18 months of his Stamford Bridge contract and has several PremIer League clubs chasing his signature.
One of those is Manchester United, while Arsenal and Newcastle are also keen.
And now a bidding war could be about to begin as ESPN claims Pulisic is “expected to be made available” at the end of the season as the Blues look to trim their bloated squad.

However, Chelsea know that they stand to make a “significant loss” on the man they spent £58m on.
Following his participation with USA at the World Cup, Pulisic refused to rule out an exit when quizzed on his future.
Speaking on the Indirect Podcast, he said: “I mean, right now I’m absolutely back at Chelsea and focused and ready to finish the season.
“But you know how things work in football. Things change quickly and anything can happen.
“At the moment I am just pushing myself in training and working at Chelsea because that’s where I am right now.”
