Christian Pulisic unwilling to leave Stamford Bridge

However, the Daily Mail reports that Pulisic has rejected any attempts by Chelsea to offload him this summer.

Pulisic is said to have informed Blues chiefs that he is not in a rush to quit the club, making clear his desire to fight for his place under Tuchel.

The former Borussia Dortmund star has previously expressed his urge to continue at Chelsea but insisted he is keen to get more game time.

"Of course, I want to get more playing time. I want to be on the field as much as I can and be the sharpest I can be and fit as well," Metro UK quoted him saying last month.

The American forward has two years left on his current deal with Chelsea.
