Jurgen Klinsmann heaps praise on 'fantastic' Chelsea star Christian Pulisic and hails his growing maturity and responsibility, after handing him his USA debut at the age of just 17

Former United States Men's National Team (USMNT) coach Jurgen Klinsmann has praised Christian Pulisic, stating the Chelsea man has 'a lot of character and...personality.'

Klinsmann, who handed Pulisic his national team debut in 2016 during the USMNT's ultimately unsuccessful 2018 qualifying campaign, said the player had 'matured so much' since the outset of his international career.

Pulisic scored a decisive hat-trick against Panama to all but ensure the USMNT's qualification to Qatar later this year and Klinsmann believes his performances are indicative of his increased maturity and only expects him to get 'better'.
