Pulisic aiming to match Hazard at Chelsea

Christian Pulisic says he will attempt to have the same impact at Chelsea as Eden Hazard has managed.

The American has been in England getting used to his new surroundings, with photographs showing him wearing a Blues shirt on Tuesday.

He signed for Chelsea for £58million back in January, following three years at Borussia Dortmund.

Despite falling out of favour a little in Germany, huge things are expected of the USA superstar.

Speaking to BBC Sport about what he hopes to achieve at Stamford Bridge, Pulisic singled out Hazard as inspiration:

It is incredible to see what Eden can do. He is a guy to look up to and what I would love to become.

It is definitely a goal. Any player would be dumb not to want to be in the same team as him.

Hazard is expected to join Real Madrid once the season reaches its conclusion, with Pulisic seemingly brought in as a replacement.

The youngster will have a huge job on his hands when it comes to matching the Belgian’s feats, although there is no doubt about his potential.

It will be fascinating to see how he adjusts to life in the Premier League.

matchday.
