Pulisic has struggled for game time at Stamford Bridge this season and former Everton striker Kevin Campbell believes that St James’s Park could be a good place for the 24-year-old to be playing regular football.

“I like Pulisic. He is a very good player.” Campbell said.

“It has not worked out for him at Chelsea. He normally just comes off the bench. As an international, he wants to start games. He will feel he deserves to start games.

“I think he would benefit from a move to a club where he can play week in, week out. He needs to build himself back up.

“Could Newcastle offer him that? I think they could. Newcastle need players who can take them to the next level.
