Thomas Delaney has backed former Borussia Dortmund teammate Christian Pulisic to succeed at Chelsea.

The £58m summer signing will be expected to fill the void left by Eden Hazard this season.

And Dortmund midfielder Delaney thinks Pulisic can cope with the pressure.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure he will be a success," Delaney said. "He's got big shoes to fill in terms of Eden Hazard, of course, but as far as I know him, he's a hungry player with a high level, and it seems like he has the support from the manager and the club, which every player needs.

"This guy can pull things out of the hat at any time, which is always a great skill to have. I think the Premier League will enjoy him."
