USA coach Berhalter: Chelsea already improving Pulisic

USA coach Gregg Berhalter says playing for Chelsea has already improved Christian Pulisic.

The former Borussia Dortmund winger joined Chelsea only last summer.

And Berhalter has noted one facet of Pulisic's game in particular that has improved since his move to London.

"The thing he's really improved on that I've seen this year is his finishing ability," he told the Miked Up podcast

"He's done a great job of that, and it's something the high-level players, when you look at the top players in the world, they're able to score a big number of goals because they have that finishing quality.

"Some of his best actions for Chelsea have been when he's central, playing the ball behind the line, combining and making things happen in a central position, but having moved inside from the wing.

"Both Chelsea and us want him affecting the game, in a position where he can hurt the opponent. Sometimes it's going to be wide, sometimes that's going to be central."
