DBasia.news – Frank Lampard is drawing closer to dock at Chelsea to fill the empty coaching post left by Maurizio Sarri. Lampard’s presence will trigger competition in the squad to be the best to play more often.
One of the players who wanted to lure Lampard is the wing attacker from the United States, Christian Pulisic. The 20-year-old was purchased by Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in January for 57.6 million pounds.
As reported by Standard Sports, Pulisic was willing to cut off his extra vacation rations this summer in order to lure Lampard in the preseason training session. As is known, at this time Pulisic is defending the United States National Team at the Concacaf Gold Cup.
America is one of the winning team. If they really reach the final that takes place on July 8, then the players who are still playing with the national team are given an additional holiday by the club.
Moreover, Chelsea has a policy of allowing their talents to have extra time off when playing in international tournaments in the summer. Pulisic doesn’t want to do so.
Pulisic did not want to miss the opportunity to attend the beginning of the preseason and train with his new teammates. One of Chelsea’s destination in the preseason is Japan.
