Gary Neville has raved about Newcastle United-linked Chelsea playmaker Christian Pulisic on ITV (6:36pm, November 215 2022).

The former Manchester United defender believes that USA international star Pulisic has got massive talent and can go past players, but he wants him to perform in the big games and on occasions where the stakes are high.

Pulisic, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, is with the USA national football team at the 2022 Qatar World Cup at the moment.

Chelsea star Christian Pulisic linked with Newcastle United

The American star has been strongly linked with a move to Newcastle in recent months.

Well-known and well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano said in September that Newcastle were obsessed with the idea of signing the 24-year-old.

The Athletic reported in September that Pulisic was actually disappointed not to leave Chelsea in the summer of 2022.

CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs told Give Me Sport in October that Chelsea ace Pulisic could find it tempting to move to Newcastle if the Magpies made him an offer in the January transfer window.

Stats

Pulisic has made three starts and 10 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea so far this season.

The £57.6 million (Sky Sports) Chelsea no. 10 has scored one goal and given one assist in those games.

The playmaker has made one start and three substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for Graham Potter’s side so far this campaign, providing one assist in those games.

Gary Neville’s verdict on Newcastle-linked Chelsea star Pulisic

Neville said about Pulisic: “We talk about Pulisic. You talk about like you want more from him.

“He has got massive talent, he can go past players like they are not there, but you feel like he always falls short when it matters.”
