‘Pulisic not at Chelsea to fill Hazard’s boots’ – Wright-Phillips tells USMNT star to ‘build his own legacy’

The former Blues winger wants to see the summer signing freed of the pressure of filling the void set to be created by the Belgian star

Christian Pulisic is not at Chelsea to “fill Eden Hazard’s boots”, says Shaun Wright-Phillips, with the United States international urged to “build his own legacy” at Stamford Bridge.

The 20-year-old playmaker has completed a move to the Blues that was agreed during the winter transfer window.

When that deal was tied up, those in west London had been hoping to see Pulisic complement the creative influences of Hazard.
