Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and could follow in the footsteps of his footballing idol Luis Figo.
Figo spent five years as a player at Los Blancos, becoming one of the most controversial players in Spanish football history after making the move from bitter rivals Barcelona in 2000. After almost 250 appearances in the red and blue of Barca, Figo infamously had a pig's head thrown at him from the stands on his return to the Camp Nou with Real Madrid, where he scored 57 goals in 245 matches.
Figo was among the best players of his generation, and speaking in an interview with chelseafc.com, Pulisic spoke of his admiration for the 127-time capped Portugal international. He said: "My first footballing idol was definitely Luis Figo. He’s someone I looked up to when I was younger.
