Frank Lampard has hailed Christian Pulisic for fighting his way to Chelsea's number 10 shirt.
Pulisic fired 11 goals and laid on 10 assists in a fine first term with the Blues but ended his debut season on a sour note by tearing his hamstring in the FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.
The 22-year-old excelled after lockdown in the protracted tail-end to the campaign and was duly handed the coveted 10 shirt after Willian joined Arsenal.
Pulisic came off the bench for his first appearance of the new campaign in Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, and now boss Lampard is excited to see the USA winger finally inch towards full fitness.
