After seven glorious years at Chelsea that were marked with over 100 goals and a host of collective and individual trophies, Eden Hazard bid adieu to the London giants to complete his dream move to Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Chelsea signed Pulisic earlier in the January transfer window as fears over Hazard’s exit clouded West London. Now, it’s the pacy winger who is expected to fill the shoes of Hazard, at least to some extent.

What’s next?
Pulisic and Chelsea take on Reading tomorrow, before rubbing shoulders with Red Bull Salzburg in Austria.
