Should Boehly make the deal to swap Chelsea's winger for this Juventus striker?
Football.London reported that Chelsea and Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic might trade places, with Chelsea receiving Christian Pulisic and Juventus receiving Vlahovic. According to reports, Chelsea must decide whether to trade Pulisic or risk losing him for free when his contract with West London expires next year.
At Stamford Bridge in West London, where he has struggled to deliver consistent performances for Chelsea, Pulisic has endured a frustrating campaign with the team thus far this season. The United States international has only made nine starts in 26 appearances across all competitions, but in those nine starts, he has managed to score one goal and provide two assists.
It may be because he has mostly played as a substitute that his stats of 0.8 shots, 0.6 critical passes, and 0.6 dribbles per 90 minutes in Premier League games are so low. According to whoscored, he has been effective while passing, completing 83.8% of his attempts in league football.
Should Pulisic be replaced by Chelsea Owner Todd Boehly?
Pulisic is a skilled dribbler who is capable of making quick runs behind the opponent's penalty area. In addition, he can shoot powerfully from a distance and may open up scoring opportunities for his teammates in the final third. Despite these advantages, the American star needs to increase his offensive productivity more frequently if he wants to succeed at the greatest level.
Even though Pulisic is healthy and eligible for selection, he has a history of suffering from injuries during his Chelsea career and is not currently a regular starter at Stamford Bridge. Due to the necessity for striker reinforcements, Dusan Vlahovic might be a respectable stand-in, allowing Kai Havertz to establish himself in the Blues' attacking unit.
In the summer of 2024, his current deal with the West London club is slated to expire. To avoid losing him as a free agent at the end of the following season, Todd Boehly would be prudent to sell him this year for a discount price or possibly trade him for the Juventus striker.
