When asked by a fan whether DeAndre Yedlin could convince Christian Pulisic to join Newcastle United, the Magpies' defender tweeted to say "I'll do my best".

Christian Pulisic is DeAndre Yedlin's team mate for the United States of America national team and Yedlin joked that he would have a word with the talented youngster in an attempt to get him to join Newcastle.

The 18-year-old was born in Pennsylvania but moved to Germany aged 16 to join Borussia Dortmund.

Predominantly a right winger, the attacking midfielder can also play just behind the striker or as a left winger and his performances this season have really caught the eye.

Pulisic has grabbed five goals and seven assists this season for the German Bundesliga giants in all competitions.

The teenage sensation already has four goals in thirteen caps for the US national side and looks to be one of the brightest prospects playing in Europe at the moment.

Although Yedlin's tweet was probably in jest, with Newcastle set to clinch promotion and aim high in the summer transfer window, you never know...

Newcastle fans - what do you make of Yedlin's tweet? Could there be any truth behind it? Let us know in the comments below...
