Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere has leapt to the defence of Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic.

Wilshere insists there's good reasons for Pulisic's struggles at Stamford Bridge.

He wrote for The Sun: "Christian Pulisic may not have been a huge success at Chelsea but there are times when he can turn it on.

"He's been a bit unlucky at Stamford Bridge. He was signed under Maurizio Sarri — but never played for him because he was loaned straight back to Dortmund.

"Then, when he moved, he had a new manager in Frank Lampard, then it was Thomas Tuchel, who he had at Dortmund.

"But they never seemed to click at Chelsea — and now he's got Graham Potter.

"So he's had four bosses, and we've had covid in that time too, so he has never had a chance to settle.

"I've got a few mates who are Chelsea fans, they were excited when he signed — and they still believe he can come good. He has the talent."
