Pulisic dismisses claims being unsettled at Chelsea

Christian Pulisic has dismissed claims of being unsettled at Chelsea.

The Blues winger insists he is happy at Stamford Bridge and resolved to fight for a place in Thomas Tuchel's starting XI.

"I'm obviously happy here. It has been an incredible two years," Pulisic - who has scored six goals this season - told ESPN.

"People have always doubted and said: 'Oh, he's not playing, does he want to go here, does he want to go there?'

"I'm always up for a challenge, I love competing, I love the position I'm in and I'm enjoying my time here."

Pulisic started the Blues' most-recent game - the 1-0 home defeat by Arsenal on Wednesday - and declared his side must perform much better in Saturday's FA Cup final with Leicester City.

Speaking on Friday, he added: "Maybe it is something that we need - we are that much hungrier, that much more looking forward to the game tomorrow.

"We know what Leicester is all about. They are going to battle, they are a tough team. They've done extremely well in the league this year. We know about their attacking ability and some of the players they have.

"So we expect them to come and battle. We are going to give it everything, and hopefully if we play the way we do and we match their intensity, I think we can beat them."
