Joe Cole has explained that he feels sorry for Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic and is still convinced he’s a “super talented” player.

Christian Pulisic, who’s still only 24, is an experienced first-team star that has been playing at the top level for so many years.

Unfortunately, the American winger has never really kicked on in his Chelsea career to become the player most expected. For example, the attacker has just one goal in 27 Blues appearances across all competitions this season.

He’s had his own injury problems to deal with over the last few years, but there’s plenty in the Blues fanbase that have given up on him.

Pundit and former Chelsea star Joe Cole is clearly still a big fan of Pulisic.

He’s desperate to see the 24-year-old starting games regularly again and enjoying his football.

Speaking to GOAL about Pulisic, Cole said: “He’s a super talented footballer. He’s won the Champions League with Chelsea and he played a big part by scoring important goals. It’s just, I feel sorry for Christian with the amount of injuries he’s got. It’s really stopped his development.

“I think he needs to find his happiness again in a Chelsea shirt. It’s very difficult and there’s always competition. There are 31 players playing in the Chelsea squad, world-class players a lot of them. He has to find his rhythm again. There’s no doubt he’s a top, top, top footballer and he just needs to find out and work out how his body is and how he can keep himself on the pitch because, if he can do that, football is not a problem for him. He’ll be fine. He’s a great player.”

Christian Pulisic could be sold

Reports in the media suggest that Pulisic could be sold by Chelsea this summer.

In our view, it’s a deal that suits all parties!

ESPN claimed earlier in the year that Chelsea will make Pulisic available for transfer at the end of the season. They added that the Blues may be ready to take a ‘significant loss’ on him.

He was part of the side that lifted the Champions League crown in 2021, but we doubt you would find many people that say he’s justified his £58million (BBC) transfer cost.
