Craig Burley, a former Scotland international, has urged Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic to leave the club and join Premier League rivals West Ham United immediately this summer if he has a brain in his head.
Burley believes Pulisic should leave Chelsea for West Ham United because the 2022 FIFA World Cup is approaching and the US international isn't getting enough playing time at Stamford Bridge.
If he has a brain and a good agent, he goes in and speaks to the club, to Tuchel, lays the cards out - I want to play, the World Cup is coming up. I want to move on if I'm not going to play, Burley told ESPN.
I believe he goes to a club that is just below Chelsea. I am not saying they will sign him. West Ham, on the other hand, is ambitious and punches above their weight. That's where I think he'll find some consistency.
Pulisic, who joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, has been linked with a summer transfer to West Ham.
His time at Chelsea has been marred by inconsistency, as he made only thirteen Premier League starts last season and was sidelined by injuries.
So far, he has 25 goals and 18 assists in 114 games for the west London club across all competitions.
