Arsenal and Man United eye shock approach for Chelsea star Christian Pulisic amid transfer exit

Chelsea star Christian Pulisic is attracting interest from rivals Arsenal and Manchester United in the transfer window, according to recent reports. It comes amid uncertainty over the USMNT international's future, having struggled to earn a place in the team consistently at Stamford Bridge.

The 24-year-old is likely to decide on the next steps of his career while he is away at the World Cup, currently representing his nation. Pulisic has impressed, particularly in USA's 0-0 draw against England, where he was awarded the Player of the Match trophy.

Plenty of praise has been heaped on the forward, with current US captain and Leeds midfielder Tyler Adams saying after the Wales draw: "He is an unbelievable player. What you saw on the goal, he is probably the only player on the field that can set that play up. That is a glimpse of what he can do. He is super talented, and he is going to be a huge integral part for us moving forward."

While Pulisic is something of a superstar for his national side, he hasn't quite reached those levels at Chelsea, with plenty of talk over an exit back in the summer. Those discussions continue to ramp up towards January, and with his contract expiring in just over a year, it's unlikely to end any time soon.

Amid the potential he has displayed and the dwindling contract, three clubs are said to be showing interest in an approach, according to the Daily Mail. Those sides are Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle, with the latter two already making enquiries over his availability back in August.

The Blues are said to be considering their options and deciding whether it would be better to let him leave before he runs down his contract or not.
