I wanted to stay on at Chelsea – Pulisic

New AC Milan signing Christian Pulisic has admitted that he wanted more opportunities to prove himself at Chelsea.

Pulisic has admitted that he wanted more chances to prove his worth at Stamford Bridge but simply did not receive them.

The winger made a total of 58 starts for the Blues in the Premier League and saw his minutes gradually diminish; last season, he started a mere eight times in the top-flight.

Speaking to ESPN, Pulisic said: “Of course there are definitely times where I wish I could’ve gotten more of an opportunity and been that guy, but yeah, for whatever reason, that’s not the case, and like I said, I’m just so excited for this new challenge and I’m definitely ready and up for it.”

Pulisic’s move to Milan has cost the Italian club £17 million ($22m) and he will aim to make a real impact in Italy, having emerged as a breakout star at Borussia Dortmund prior to his move to west London.
