Former player Craig Burley believes Christian Pulisic will not be affected if Chelsea sign Philippe Coutinho
Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic must not WORRY about rumours linking Chelsea to Philippe Coutinho and if even the Blues finally sign the Barcelona flop, claimed by former Chelsea player Craig Burley.
Pulisic should only focus on proving his ability to manager Frank Lampard if the Blues bring in Philippe Coutinho in the next transfer window, says Burley.
“The American public should stop worrying or American soccer fans should stop worrying about whoever’s going to sign for Chelsea,” Burley told ESPN.
“Because either Christian Pulisic, like every other player, is going to be good enough to hold down a place in the team no matter who they sign, or he’s not. It’s as simple as that really.
“You shouldn’t as a player worry about who is going to be coming in.
“You want better players to be coming in because I think when you play with better players, you play better yourself.
“And if you’re not playing, it’s because you’ve not shown you’re good enough or doing enough to get game time.
“It’s part and parcel of the job and I don’t think the young man will be worried about who Chelsea are going to be bringing in.
“I think he will be purely focused on, whenever the season restarts or when the next season starts, of showing Frank Lampard on a consistent basis the glimpses of what we saw in the last six months or so, which were pretty good.”
The American International has step up in returning to full fitness after sustaining an injury in January this year.
