Christian Pulisic has drawn comparisons between himself and his Jadon Sancho, with reports he could be heading to Chelsea in the summer.
Sancho is easily regarded as one of the finest talents in the game right now and has been constantly linked with a move to the Premier League, where the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United are waiting to snap him up.
Chelsea will be losing Willian in just a few weeks time after he failed to agree a new deal, and all reports have suggested that Lampard feels Sancho is the man to come in and fill that void at Chelsea next season.
Now, amid all the speculation linking the star to the Premier League, Speaking to Sky Sports, Pulisic lauded Sancho, who has made a name for himself at the Bundesliga club since he joined them from Manchester City in 2017.
‘He was given an opportunity, just like I was, at a very high level, and they [Borussia Dortmund] show you right away that they trust you and they’re going to give an equal opportunity to all the players,’ said Pulisic. ‘He’s done an amazing job since he came in and has obviously shown what abilities he has.’
In quoting the American, the Express goes on to suggest that Chelsea and Manchester United are leading contenders to sign Sancho this summer with the Blues holding the edge in the race to snap up the 20-year-old London native.
‘The Blues are already thought to have an advantage over the Red Devils with Sancho believed to be a boyhood Chelsea fan and eager for a return to his home city,’ states the paper. Look, if Sancho does move to Stamford Bridge in the summer then he would not walk straight into the side as Chelsea have some brilliant wingers at the club already.
We are not saying that he would not be a great signing, because he would, all were saying is that Chelsea do not really need to splash so much money on Sancho, when they have other areas of the pitch that they seriously need to work on first. But Sancho is brilliant and will be welcome to the Premier League.
