The Blues boss sees plenty of potential in the USA international but admits he is still finding his feet following a summer switch to Stamford Bridge
Christian Pulisic has shown “good moments” during a testing start to life at Chelsea, says Frank Lampard, with the United States international needing more time to adjust to new surroundings.
Arriving in England over the summer with such a big billing was always going to make life tough for the youngster, and he has struggled for consistency so far.
The hope is, however, that Pulisic will eventually become an able successor to the departed Eden Hazard in west London, with Lampard prepared to be patient in his bid to unlock further potential.
The Chelsea boss told reporters when asked for his take on how Pulisic has fared so far, with a return to the Blues’ starting XI made in a 7-1 Carabao Cup win over Grimsby : “I have got four wingers now that they are all fit.
“It’s normal to have an adaptation. He has shown some good moments. We must give him a bit of time to adapt because of youth, change of league and living.
“They are all different, have different pathways. We know he has played in the Champions League.”
