Pulisic plans return to Chelsea

US winger Christian Pulisic plans to return to Chelsea despite speculation that his days at Stamford Bridge are over.

Pulisic became the most expensive American soccer player when he signed with the Premier League side in 2019 for some €64m (R1.3bn) but a recent lack of playing time prompted frustration.

“As of right now, I’ ma Chelsea player and I plan to go back, but a lot of things can happen a lot of things can change,” the 24-year-old, who has rejoined the US national team for their Concacaf Nations League title defence, said.

Meanwhile, seven players will leave Leicester City when their contracts expire this month, officials from the club, who were relegated from the Premier League this season, said on Monday.

Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez and Tete will leave, while talks are ongoing with Jonny Evans to extend his contract.
