According to a few reliable sources, Pulisic who was spectacular last season, most especially the later stages of last season. Singlehandedly bearing responsibilities for the team and helping Chelsea secure wins that was enough for them to cement their top 4 spot. His performances last season has caused a lot of fans and pundits to liken him to Chelsea’s legend Eden Hazard who singlehandedly lead Chelsea to numerous titles and trophies, due to the similarities in their playing style and Pulisic ability to dribble past players with very good close control and acceleration.
Due to Pulisic top level performances last season, a lot of the Chelsea fans have cried out for him to be given the number 10 shirt as he has earned the mantle to take over from where Hazard stopped before he left the club. With new signings Chelsea has made so far, the likes of Ziyech, Werner, Havertz, also not to forget Hudson Odoi who relishes the number 10 as well - lots of talking points have surrounded these players as fans wonder which player would be given the number 10 shirt since these players could fit well with the number 10 shirt.
According to reports coming out from a few sources earlier yesterday, it is said that Pulisic will wear the number 10 at Chelsea as the news stated confirmed. As expected, the news aroused a lot of the Chelsea fans emotions as they couldn’t hold their joy and excitements seeing the news. While nothing is official yet in terms of Chelsea making the official announcements of the squad numbers, the reports came from reliable sources which gave fans the impression and assurance that it was legit and accurate.
Now that Pulisic will wear his preferred shirt number, a number he wears for his national team, a lot of talking points have surfaced on what is expected of him next season now that he holds the Eden Hazard mantle… For me, I think Pulisic will do great things for Chelsea next season. We have all seen his abilities and what he can do singlehandedly at Chelsea and in the USA national team, so for the fans, it’s time to be excited as something great is happening at Chelsea at the moment. Combine Pulisic abilities and what he can do on the pitch singlehandedly with the qualities of Ziyech, Werner and Havertz, you can only imagine how devastating Chelsea will be when attacking.
Lots of excitements ahead and I’m pretty sure the Chelsea fans can’t wait for the new season to kickoff. Frank Lampard isn’t leaving out any stone unturned in terms of the areas he needed to reinforce based on their last season performances and the club have without blinking fully backed him with all the signings he needs. All eyes will be on Chelsea and Frank Lampard to see how he sets his team up for the challenges to come when the season kicks off for them starting from Monday.
