Chelsea star Christian Pulisic has been linked with a move to Leeds United before this summer’s deadline – and has perhaps, added fuel to the fire by posting a picture on Instagram with Leeds duo Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams.
Leeds shocked many by cruising to a 3-0 win over Thomas Tuchel’s men at Stamford Bridge. A stunning result, but a performance that deserved the outcome. Aaronson opened his account for Leeds, tackling Edouard Mendy to score.
Indeed, Aaronson and Adams were the pick of the bunch for Leeds fans – along with Jack Harrison and Rodrigo. The latter netted his fourth goal in three Premier League games, while Harrison also opened his account for the season.
Adams lasted the entire 90, while Aaronson was withdrawn just after 80 minutes. Meanwhile, Pulisic was only used as a sub by Tuchel for the third time in Chelsea’s third Premier League games. He is said to be keen on leaving Chelsea.
The USA skipper wants a move with the World Cup on the horizon. Captaining Adams and Aaronson, Pulisic will want plenty of game time under his belt. Leeds are being linked, and he has now posted a picture alongside the Leeds duo.

Pulisic might have been watching on on Sunday, thinking he would love to play in this Leeds side. Jesse Marsch, who said before the game he would love to work with Pulisic one day, has got his Leeds side playing exciting football.
The Whites dominated large parts of the game on Sunday. Even so, Pulisic cannot seem to break into Tuchel’s starting XI. Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz and Mason Mount are first choice. He might end up leaving before the deadline.
Could that to be Leeds? If it was going to be the Yorkshire club, it would have to be a loan. He cost Chelsea £58million and is likely to be on big wages. Even then, Leeds would have to pay an expensive portion. It seems too pricey.
