Christian Pulisic relishing false nine role under Thomas Tuchel as he hails Chelsea boss for 'new outlook' with German putting 'smiles on faces in training' again at Blues

Christian Pulisic has revealed Thomas Tuchel's plans to deploy him as a false nine in the German's Chelsea revolution.

Pulisic has been reunited with the man who kick-started his senior career at Borussia Dortmund as Tuchel has taken the Stamford Bridge helm.

The USA forward stepped off the bench and conjured a cute assist for Marcos Alonso's stunning volley as Chelsea drove past Burnley 2-0 in Sunday's Premier League clash in west London.

Tuchel must find a way to maximise Chelsea's abundant attacking talent, with misfiring forward Timo Werner a continued concern.
