Why Christian Pulisic Is the Right Man to Fill Eden Hazard's Boots at Chelsea Next Season

Chelsea have wasted no time in dipping their toes into the January transfer window and have already completed a deal for Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic, which was announced by the German club on Wednesday.

The €64m deal won't kick in for fans in west London until the summer as Pulisic will spend the remainder of this season on loan with Borussia Dortmund, but supporters should be confident that their third most expensive signing ever can fill the boots of Eden Hazard next season.

The 20-year-old will be arriving at Stamford Bridge younger than Hazard was when he swapped LOSC Lille for Chelsea in 2012, but most importantly the USMNT international is already a more complete player than the Belgian winger was at the same stage of his career.
