SWP urges Chelsea fans: Don't compare Pulisic with Hazard

Eden Hazard's move to Real Madrid looks set to be concluded sooner rather than later, but a former Chelsea player is sure the signing of Christian Pulisic wasn't brought as a replacement for the star man.

Shaun Wright-Phillips has discussed the move for the Dortmund man, and he has high hopes for the young American international.

The former Blues winger told 888sport: "I wouldn't say Pulisic is there to fill Hazard's boots. It's not fair to put that load on him.

"He's there to bring another way of playing for Chelsea, and he will create his own footprints basically and build his own legacy there at the Bridge.

"He is definitely a player the fans will like. In America, he is rated very, very highly."
