Olivier Giroud makes huge Chelsea Christian Pulisic comparison amid Todd Boehly transfer plan

Olivier Giroud has left the door open for Christian Pulisic to join AC Milan in the summer. The 24-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea, with the club preparing to trim down a bloated squad.

Pulisic, who sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expire next year, has featured just 21 times for the Blues in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards just two goals. While the United States international has displayed glimpses of great potential, he's struggled to nail down a place in the starting lineup under several managers.

The winger's chances of forcing himself into the next Chelsea boss' plans look slim too, with Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke expected to be preferred. Despite Pulisic's misfortunes in west London, Giroud has leapt to the American's defence and compared him to Eden Hazard.
