Tottenham Hotspur have begun investigating the possibility of bringing AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic to the club as they look to bolster their attacking options before the transfer window closes. The North London side have made formal enquiries about the American forward, according to reports from TeamTalk, as they seek to strengthen their squad in the final days of the summer market.
The move comes after Tottenham’s pursuit of Cody Gakpo fell through, with the Liverpool winger reportedly choosing to join Manchester City instead. Spurs had been prepared to spend over £70 million on the Dutch international, but that setback has forced the club to pivot toward alternative targets. At 27 years old, Pulisic offers Premier League experience from his time at Chelsea alongside a productive record in Italy, where he has contributed 55 goals and assists in 100 Serie A appearances for Milan. His versatility across attacking positions makes him an attractive prospect for manager Roberto De Zerbi.
However, securing the American may prove challenging. Milan have not indicated they are willing to sell, with Pulisic’s recent bench appearances attributed to fitness management following a World Cup injury rather than a loss of faith. The Italian club are also expected to add further attacking depth through a loan signing, which could complicate any potential deal. Nevertheless, Tottenham are among several clubs monitoring his situation, and their demonstrated willingness to invest significantly suggests they could move from enquiry to concrete negotiation if the opportunity arises.
Pulisic is not Spurs’ only target, with Lyon’s Malick Fofana, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jean-Matteo Bahoya, and Lille’s Matheus Fernandez-Pardo also under consideration. Competition for these players remains fierce, with multiple Premier League clubs pursuing similar profiles ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
