Newcastle United backed to complete Christian Pulisic signing after £31m reveal – pundit
Frank McAvennie has suggested Christian Pulisic and Newcastle United could be “a match made in heaven.”
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former West Ham striker said Pulisic would be guaranteed game time at St James’ Park.
On 22 August, journalist Fabrizio Romano, reported in CaughtOffisde, the Magpies have been interested in a move for the 24-year-old for “months”.
According to Calciomercato (26 September), Chelsea have set the asking price of the USA international at £31.2million.
The winger currently has two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
He has made ten appearances for the Blues so far this season and has started just two of those games.
When asked if a move to St James Park would be a good fit for Pulisic, McAvennie told Football Insider: “I think so.
“I think he is one of these players that you want in your team. He has been about, he is a good player.
“Everything that happens at Newcastle now is going to be structured. Chelsea are going to want more money than what they would because it is Newcastle. It might be a benefit to both of them.
“If you are not getting a game the club has got to come to some sort of agreement with you.
“Newcastle is a team on the up. Players will want to go to there because they are going places. You have got a chance of winning something.
“Pulisic going to Newcastle, I could see it happening, it could be a match made in heaven. He will certainly get game time at Newcastle. Sometimes players just want to feel loved and he will get that at Newcastle.“
