Christian Pulisic breaks silence amid Chelsea transfer talk as two clubs make move

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic continues to be linked with a move away from the club.

Pulisic has been the subject of intense speculation with the United States of America ace out of contract at the end of next season. Because of his contract situation, the 24 year-old is likely to be sold by Chelsea come the summer because he can command a fee and is largely surplus to requirements.

The 2019 signing from Borussia Dortmund, who cost around £58million, has struggled to make a real consistent impact at Stamford Bridge and is currently out of favour with Frank Lampard. Pulisic has not been able to get off the substitute's bench in two of the last three games and has had to deal with the January arrivals of Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke.

Despite struggling for form and minutes, Pulisic is continuing to his utmost to prove to Lampard he deserves some game-time. Pulisic uploaded a photo of him in action during a Chelsea training session this week ahead of his side's Premier League game against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

The former Brackley Town youngster has recently been linked with a move to Serie A sides Napoli and Juventus. It was claimed in the national press earlier this week that both teams have 'expressed an interest' in signing the player.

Their Serie A rival AC Milan has also been tipped to try and sign Pulisic too and his former team-mate at Chelsea, Olivier Giroud, would welcome linking up with him again at the San Siro. "I think everyone would like (it)," Giroud said of the prospect of Pulisic heading to Milan.

"He's a big name in Europe, so that would help us. "He is that kind of player with great skills, with great talent.

"He is a cheerful boy, always smiling and we laughed a lot with him. "Our understanding on the pitch was also excellent, a bit like with Eden Hazard, even though I played less with Christian.

"We knew how to find each other."
