Christian Pulisic's World Cup performances for the USA have alerted Premier League clubs to a potential January transfer.
The former Borussia Dortmund man is entering the final 18 months of his contract at Chelsea but there's so far been no mention of a new contract.
As a result, Todd Boehly and Co. face an important decision heading into what is a vital transfer window for the club and Graham Potter's project. The hierarchy are considering whether it makes sense to cash in on the 24-year-old with time left on his deal or let his contract run into its final year.

As per the Daily Mail, Manchester United and Newcastle enquired about the American's availability in August and, along with Arsenal, they're monitoring his situation.
Pulisic has impressed at the World Cup so far and most recently won the Player of the Match award against England. The USA are third in the group, but victory over Iran would guarantee qualification in Group B.
He's clearly a talented player, but his Chelsea career has been blighted by injuries and a lack of distinct progress. Several wingers have also been linked with the Blues in recent weeks which implies that Boehly and Potter are considering all options in the transfer market.
The likes of Portugal duo Rafael Leao and Joao Felix are two of the names touted with big money moves, though there's nothing concrete to suggest that there's anything other than interest in either as things stand.
