Sterling alternative: Barcelona targeting winter move for Christian Pulisic (reliability: 4 stars)

Barcelona are looking towards Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic, as an alternative to Raheem Sterling, as per Sport.

Some Spanish sources claim Chelsea are open to a loan deal for Pulisic, who recently returned from a long-term injury.

Chelsea are spoiled for options in attack with the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner, Lukaku and Kai Havertz all vying for places.

At Barcelona, injuries to Ousmane Dembele, Ansu Fati, Martin Braithwaite and Sergio Aguero's heart condition leaves the Blaugrana looking for a stop-gap option in the winter market.

Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling has been heavily linked. However, the deal could become improbable if Barca can't convince Manchester City to loan him.
