Frank Lampard believes United States international, Christian Pulisic can improve to the standard of Raheem Sterling, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah if he works hard and continues to improve. Lampard made the statement after Chelsea knocked out Leicester 1-0 away in the FA Cup, to progress to the semi-finals along with Arsenal and Manchester United
Pulisic is Chelsea’s second-highest scorer this season behind Tammy Abraham with eight goals this season and Lampard hopes the winger will contribute more goals.
“I think he can be a really big player because he broke through at such a young age in Germany and he made a big move, obviously expectations rise but you have to keep the age in consideration,” Lampard said.
“There is no doubt about his quality, we can see that and he is very keen to improve. He’s particularly hungry at the minute because he missed some time with an injury.
“If he looks at players around him that have made that sort of a jump, he has the ability like Raheem Sterling to produce numbers from wide areas, like Salah and Mane. He understands the work that needs to be done to do that. He definitely has the talent, he needs to get to that level.
“I’m delighted to have him at the minute, he works hard everyday, he has to set his sights as high as he possibly can.”
On Thursday night (June 25), Pulisic opened the scoring as Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-1 to strengthen Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League placing and put them two points ahead of Wolves.
