Christian Pulisic has started 6 league games for Chelsea this season, and is currently out injured.
He’s not expected back for some time, and it’s hard to see him beating even his meagre total of 13 league starts from last season at this rate.
By the time he’s back and fit there will likely be fewer than 10 games left in the season, and as it stands he’s competing with Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke, Hakim Ziyech and Mykhailo Mudryk is the race for minutes.
After 19 league starts in his first season at the club, Pulisic got 18 in the following season before the drop to 13 last year.
Getting 10 or so this year will be a new low. It’s no wonder he wants out – and the club are willing to let him go.
It’s not just his spell at Chelsea’s where he’s struggled – he’s only one in his career made more than 20 league starts in a season.
