Pulisic preparing to leave Chelsea, Solskjaer pleads for time

Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic is already considering his future at Stamford Bridge after struggling to find his way into the first team under new manager Frank Lampard. 

The 21-year-old American arrived at Chelsea in the summer, but will look to leave if he believes he is not being given a fair chance by Lampard. He is currently being left out in favour of Pedro, Willian, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

In a demonstration of the competition that Pulisic faces in order to get into the first eleven, the Sunday Express reveals that Chelsea winger Willian could be given a new contract at Stamford Bridge. The 31-year-old is able to leave on a free contract at the end of the season having been linked to Barcelona and Juventus, but Chelsea want to retain him for at least one more year.

In other news, The Mirror report that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate for more time at Manchester United as his tenure starts to look closer to the end than the beginning. The paper reports him as saying: “At Molde and Cardiff I had tough times. I’ve been at that bottom end in the table. It’s not a nice feeling. If you get time to do what you are setting out to do, it’ll be fine. This is a period now with some fine lines going against us, but we’ll get there.”
