Chelsea star Christian Pulisic is 'surplus to requirements' and could leave Stamford Bridge if a suitable offer is tabled, according to journalist Paul Brown.
The winger completed a £58million switch from German giants Borussia Dortmund in 2019, but he has struggled to nail down a regular starting berth under Blues head coach Graham Potter.

What's the latest news involving Pulisic?
According to Spanish sources, a move to Serie A could be on the cards as Inter Milan and Juventus are battling it out for Pulisic's signature.
The report suggests the United States international could seal his exit during the January transfer window as Chelsea are looking to recoup a significant amount of cash from his services.
Pulisic has been restricted to just four starts since Potter was appointed as the capital club's boss in September.
But there were already doubts over the 24-year-old's long-term future before the former Brighton & Hove Albion chief's arrival as Manchester United considered striking a loan deal in the summer, while he was also on Newcastle United's radar.
Pulisic is set to enter the final 18 months of his £150,000-per-week contract at the turn of the year.

What has Paul Brown said about Pulisic?
Brown is expecting Chelsea to offload up to three fringe players in the coming months and Pulisic could be among those to depart.
The journalist believes the American has fallen down the pecking order and, as a result, he may move onto pastures new if a suitable offer is lodged.
Brown told GIVEMESPORT: "I certainly think that Chelsea are looking to sell two or three players in the near future and he is someone who is surplus to requirements.
"They have other people who are clearly going to play ahead of him in his position. I think, if the right deal was to come along, Chelsea probably would take that."
Could Pulisic attract suitors at the World Cup?
Having bagged a place in the United States' squad for the World Cup, the tournament is the ideal opportunity for Pulisic to put himself in the shop window.
The Chelsea man wasted no time in making an impact in Qatar as he grabbed an assist during his country's Group B opener against Wales.
Pulisic was a constant threat to Wales' rearguard, with statistics showing he completed two key passes, put in 13 crosses and had a 7.2 match rating.
He was then involved as the United States went head-to-head with England on Friday and Chelsea will be hoping more impressive performances will result in the possibility of being able to increase his price tag ahead of the January transfer window.
