One of the players everyone will keep an eye on since the onset of the new season is Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, who signed for The Blues in January, but spent the remaining season on loan with his previous club Borussia Dortmund.

Having now joined his side, he has one of the most difficult tasks as a debutant, that is to emulate club legend Eden Hazard's performances in the final third.

At just 20-years of age, it might be expecting too much of the US national, but one thing for sure his blistering pace will make him a nightmare to deal with for the defenders and his versatility make him unpredictable to play against.

The winger did not have the best of seasons in the Bundesliga last time around, as he was upstaged by Jordan Sancho, a player who played in a similar position as that of the American forward and also faced a spell on the sidelines due to injury.

But, that should not distract us from the fact that he is a fantastic dribbler and like Hazard that ability means he is fouled often by the defenders and can win free-kicks in dangerous positions for his team.

With a new manager in Frank Lampard at the helm at Stamford Bridge, he has the perfect opportunity to prove his worthiness in his debut season and can become a star in England if he can replicate his form for The Blues.
