Pulisic should leave Chelsea for a smaller club and fast too; Here is why according to Craig Burley

The American Chelsea star Christian Pulisic has been advised by Chelsea legend Craig Burley to leave the Stamford bridge and plan a move to a lesser club in hierarchy such as West Ham for reasons best known to him.

Reading further you will find out why he said so…

This may not come as what you may have wanted to hear about the player owing to the fact that he is doing his job very well at the club so why would anyone want him gone?

Well it could be evident that Craig Burley has a reason for saying what he said and without looking further, here is the reason why Pulisic was told what he was told.

Burley said;

A move to a rival club like West Ham could help Pulisic as he struggles to get a place in Chelsea’s starting XI under manager Thomas Tuchel.

Burley believes moving to West Ham could be a step down for Pulisic as it will aid the winger in getting more regular game time.

In context he said;

“I believe a club like, for example, a West Ham, a team just sitting around [the European places]. It is a step-down, but it’s a step down to, I think, getting regular game time, whether that’s in England or Spain or Germany or wherever.”

Meanwhile, former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop agreed with Burley’s assessment, stating: “That step down to another club, a smaller club, Craig mentions my former club West Ham, which I think would be a great fit for him, might be exactly what he needs if is to be playing if he wants to start and start regularly.”
