Scholes: Chelsea attacker Pulisic closest thing to Hazard

Manchester United great Paul Scholes admits he's a fan of Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic.

Scholes was left very impressed by Pulisic after defeat against Wolves midweek.

The American winger returned to the starting line-up after recovering from a hamstring injury and put in an impressive display.

"He's a good player, isn't he?" Scholes said.

"The number of times they got the ball into him. Chilwell as well has been a threat they've got a link down that side with Mason Mount. But this lad, Pulisic, he looks the closest thing to Eden Hazard."

Pulisic ended his debut season at the Blues with 11 goals and 10 assists in all competitions and will look to continue contributing to Frank Lampard's side with the summer signings. Former Manchester United midfielder Scholes was delighted with his skillset.

"He's got a little turn of pace, his centre of gravity is low, he can weave past people and he's creative."
