Christian Pulisic stance on West Ham United transfer emerges after new update
West Ham United are not a club that could encourage Christian Pulisic to leave AC Milan, according to Calciomercato.
The Italian source reported on Monday [18 November] that the Premier League club want to acquire the United States international‘s services in January [CalcioMercato].
While West Ham appears to be out of the race, other sides such as Liverpool have been mentioned as a potential destination in the near future.
Christian Pulisic stance on West Ham United transfer
Pulisic ended his disappointing Chelsea stint to join AC Milan last year and has since returned to his best, bagging seven goals and five assists in 15 appearances across all competitions this season.
At 26, the attacker’s best years are still ahead of him and it is easy to see why a team like West Ham would be interested in signing him.
However, Milan are competing in the UEFA Champions League this season and Pulisic could see a move to the London Stadium as a step backwards.
The former Borussia Dortmund star is also notably attracting interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.
Moreover, it would take an “indecent” offer for the Serie A giants to consider selling him, with a £50million fee mooted.
As for the Irons, signing a new striker should be a bigger priority in January [The Times]. Michail Antonio and Danny Ings have scored just two goals between them this season, while Niclas Fullkrug continues to struggle with his fitness.
In other West Ham news, David Sullivan may have doubts over manager considered as the “obvious” replacement for Julen Lopetegui.
