Chelsea hero Nevin predicts Pulisic importance for 'next five to ten years'

Chelsea hero Pat Nevin thinks Christian Pulisic can be a star at the club for another 10 years.

The USA international enjoyed a productive debut campaign in England, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists in 34 appearances.

And Nevin believes the hype surrounding Pulisic is warranted.

The Scot told the club's website: "There were moments when Christian Pulisic looked like he might run away with the Player of the Year trophy.

"At times he was looking like our most potent scorer as well as creator.

"Chelsea fans will soon tire of comparing him with Eden Hazard, which is unfair on him, but they also know that for raw talent, match intelligence and searing pace as well as an eye for goal, at 21 years old he could be one of the most important players for this club over the next five to 10 years."
