Chelsea’s ideal forward line for the beginning of the Frank Lampard era

RW - Christian Pulisic

Pulisic is included in the 25-man squad for the friendlies in Japan

Three goals in the Premier League for Willian, eight for Pedro. That's simply not good enough, considering the level at which the football at Chelsea is played. Due to this very reason, the extra burden on Eden Hazard often allowed oppositions to place an extra man behind him.

It's time the ageing Willian and Pedro are used as substitutes who can bring a difference with their quality. This opens the door for new boy Christian Pulisic, who is highly rated among modern football fans for his burgeoning ability to flip-flap past opponents, start counter-attacks and most importantly, stretch the other side's back line.

That would not only help Chelsea attack through a different dimension, but also allow the likes of attacking midfielders such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount to get into the box without much traffic.

The inclusion of Pulisic would transform Chelsea's wings to a highly energetic, electrifying and exciting commodity.

What are his other attributes? The player himself explained,

"I think I have a lot of speed and creativity that I can bring to the game; quickness and different attacking abilities that can really help the team. I think I have some tools that can really do well in this league. I just can't wait."
