5 wingers Chelsea should target as replacements for Pedro

#2 Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund)

The American boy wonder could be superb for the Blues if he signs up

The anointed “saviour” of American football, Pulisic’s career has been on an upward trajectory ever since he made his debut for German side Dortmund in January 2016.

The 19-year-old like most players with his type of physique: Hazard, Lionel Messi, and others is a diminutive player blessed with skills, pace, close control and the ability to make things happen and has been earmarked for great things for a while now.

Possessing pace for days and a style of dribbling that relies more on speed than body movement, his biggest strength has to do with his use of space as unlike the more inventive flair-heavy wingers like a Neymar or an Eden Hazard and relies more on beating his opponent at a rapid pace.

Like most of his Dortmund teammates, the 19-year-old has struggled this season with a paltry tally of four goals and five assists in 30 Bundesliga games. This is a reflection more on the team’s struggles and not his talent.

His blitzkrieg-running style where he is always looking to take the ball forward at all times will help the Blues transition effectively from defence to attack and will make the team a serious threat in counter-attacks.

He will not be cheap as he could potentially cost Chelsea a staggering £88m.
