Former USMNT international Eddie Lewis has claimed that Christian Pulisic could play his way back into the Chelsea team with his performances at the World Cup. The 24-year-old has struggled to cement his place in the first-team since making the switch to West London.
It's that difficulty which has led towards a potential exit, with plenty of links circulating a switch back in the summer window as well as in the future. Though under new boss Graham Potter he could be handed a new lease of life as the manager revealed his plans for Pulisic on the left of the attack.
“It’s understandable [he was nervous]," The head coach said after victory over Wolves last month. "He’s a human being. He wants to play, wants to help. It’s about how you put the players on the pitch so it suits them. The role for Christian was a good one for him. It was high wide left, he could attack the back line, and it was nice for him to score.”
