DBasia.news – Christian Pulisic himself was actually the target of Maurizio Sarri last season, before the coach finally left the Blues. Former Chelsea player, Chris Sutton, assesses Frank Lampard has more confidence in young players who graduated from the Blues academy.
Christian Pulisic is the only player who came in the 2019 summer transfer window to Chelsea. The Blues was able to bring in Pulisic despite serving a ban on player registration as they have completed the transfer process with Borussia Dortmund since the middle of last season.
The United States player is said to be taking the role that has been carried out by Eden Hazard. However, in fact, Pulisic could not win Frank Lampard’s heart.
Christian Pulisic spends more time on the bench. So far, he has only appeared in seven matches. In fact, in the Champions League, the 21-year-old player hasn’t received a chance to appear, not even for a minute.
“Frank Lampard has no plans with Pulisic. He will choose the best player to win the match because it is his job. One thing is certain, Pulisic is not purchasing Lampard,” Sutton explained to Radio 5 Live.
“With the presence of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Mason Mount, Pulisic will have problems getting into the main team. I have faith that will happen. I don’t see any other way for the player.”
Chris Sutton considers that Chelsea had purchased Christian Pulisic with a high amount. The 58 million pounds spent can be used by Lampard to bring in other players.
“Chelsea spent so much money. The question is whether Lampard will recruit him today if Pulisic’s transfer never happened? I think the answer is quite clear, Lampard will not purchase him,” said Sutton. Previously, Frank Lampard tried to clear up the situation by stating that Pulisic still needed time to adapt. Lampard also emphasized that he had spoken privately with the player.
