Former Premier League goalkeeper Brad Friedel has urged compatriot Christian Pulisic to leave Chelsea in January to get regular playing time.

Friedel believes the Chelsea winger has the potential to become the USA’s greatest ever player.

“If Chelsea aren’t picking Christian Pulisic, then I think he should move elsewhere because he’s good enough to play somewhere,” Friedel told Online Casino.

“He’s staking a claim towards being the best US player of all time, although he’s got a way to go to get past Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey.

“Those two were at the top for a long time. Just because you have a big price tag, doesn’t mean you’ve achieved what those guys have yet, so he has a way to go.

“But he’s making a claim. He needs to keep scoring goals at international level, and then we’ll see at the end of his career.

“It’s like debating between Messi and Ronaldo, when you’re debating Donovan and Dempsey, they’re different players. I always thought Claudio Reyna was up there too.

“That would be my top three at the moment, but Weston McKennie could be in the conversation one day if he keeps proving.”
