Christian Pulisic makes Chelsea admission amid Liverpool transfer links

Christian Pulisic has spoken about his Chelsea future while away on international duty with the USA, admitting that he wants more playing time next season. The 23-year-old made just 22 Premier League appearances this season scoring six goals, but admitted that he is looking for more next season.

The American has been with the Blues since 2019 but has now admitted that he is focused on making himself "a regular at club level" having started just 13 Premier League games this campaign. This has encouraged speculation that his future could lie elsewhere, despite compatriot Todd Boehly's takeover at the West London club, with Liverpool being linked to the attacker amid ongoing speculation surrounding Sadio Mane's future.

The winger was speaking following his country's 3-0 friendly win over Morocco, a match in which he started before eventually being taken off the pitch ahead of a friendly against Uruguay. Speaking to reporters he addressed his future and spoke of his ambitions for the future.

He said: "As far as right now, I'm obviously just focused on what I'm doing here. And I'm super excited to be here. And yeah, that's it.

"Of course, I want to get more playing time. I want to be on the field as much as I can and be the sharpest I can be and fit as well.

"I think I still got a lot of games, but it's always something that I'm working at and trying to be regular at club level as well to put myself in the best position to be fit when I come here with the national team."

The forward, who has scored 21 goals in 49 international games, has previously spoken about his future at the club telling Metro that he has met the new owners and is excited about what the future holds. However, if he remains a rotation option in Thomas Tuchel's plans this could change.

He said of the meeting: "At the end of the season, we were able to meet with them and they were around the club a lot. They are really good people so I'm excited moving forward."
