'Exciting times ahead'! Christian Pulisic hails Chelsea's £98m new boy Romelu Lukaku as a 'great striker' and is relishing chance to play alongside the Belgian in Premier League title push

Christian Pulisic has hailed the acquisition of new Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku and believes the Belgium star can help bring more 'exciting times' to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues, who won the Champions League last season started their Premier League campaign in impressive fashion with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

However, Lukaku didn't feature against the Eagles due to quarantine protocols following his £98 million transfer from Inter Milan, and Pulisic expects the Belgium star to give the west London outfit a more clinical edge going forward this season.
