​Sahin: Pulisic not trying to replace Hazard at Chelsea

Turkey star Nuri Sahin does not believe his former Borussia Dortmund teammate Christian Pulisic is trying to replace Eden Hazard.

Pulisic has gotten more game time with Chelsea in recent weeks, and he has contributed several key goals for the Blues.

And Sahin believes that Pulisic will be his own star at the Stamford Bridge club.

He told The Times: "Which player can be compared to Hazard, though?

"There is only a handful of players on the level of Hazard. As I know, Christian doesn't put himself under pressure to be the next Hazard.

"I spoke to him and he also doesn't have that pressure from the club, from his manager, so he will be OK.

"He will be a great player for Chelsea, but he will not be the next Hazard. It's important to be the best version of Christian Pulisic."
