Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic is reportedly desperate to leave Stamford Bridge.

The Athletic have reported that Christian Pulisic has been unhappy with his opportunities at Chelsea and wants to leave the Blues in the summer transfer window.

The £150,000-a-week (SalarySport) USA international, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, is “prepared to take a considerable pay cut” to move to a club where he would get regular playing time.

The report has claimed that Chelsea could get £20 million for the 24-year-old.

Should Christian Pulisic leave Chelsea?

In our view, Christian Pulisic should hold talks with new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino before making a final decision on his future.

True, things have not worked out the way they were supposed to for Pulisic at Chelsea.

And for a player who has played over 50 times for his country, you can understand why he wants to play regularly at club level.

And Pulisic is a very good attacking player who was superb at Borussia Dortmund.

However, Pochettino is the new Chelsea boss now, and we believe that the American should at least have a chat with the former Tottenham Hotspur head coach before changing clubs.

The Chelsea no. 10 made eight starts and 16 substitute appearances in the Premier League this season.

The American star scored one goal and gave one assist in those games.

Pulisic also played once in the Carabao Cup and made one start and four substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for Chelsea this campaign.
