With minutes dwindling at Chelsea, Pulisic can look to former USMNT great Clint Dempsey for inspiration

Christian Pulisic's debut season with Chelsea went about as well as could reasonably be expected. Following his £58 million move in January 2019, the United States winger racked up nine goals and six assists in the Premier League, emerging as one of Frank Lampard's leading lights when league play resumed after a coronavirus-enforced stoppage, helping the Blues secure a top-four place and reach the FA Cup final.

A lot has changed at Stamford Bridge, though, in the eight-plus months since Pulisic scored in that 2-1 cup final defeat to Arsenal.
