Christian Pulisic: The Perfect Replacement for Eden Hazard at Chelsea

With Eden Hazard leaving Chelsea this summer, it marks the start of a new era at Stamford Bridge. After seven fruitful years with the Blues, the Belgian’s exit means that it is now time for a new star to shine at Stamford Bridge.

Despite Chelsea’s transfer ban, the club actually signed a replacement for Hazard way back in January. They signed Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic for £58m, and after being loaned back to BVB for the remainder of the season as part of the deal, Pulisic’s Chelsea career is now about to begin.

Moving on from Hazard was always going to be a challenge, as Chelsea prepare to deal without one of their most talented players the club has ever had.
