USA coach Gregg Berhalter can see Christian Pulisic leaving Chelsea.

Pulisic was again played at wing-back for defeat at Brighton.

Berhalter told The Times: "I've seen his transformation as a person and as a player and it's been really fun to watch.

"It's difficult when you're at a club like Chelsea and in any given summer they can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of players and he keeps fighting to get his place.

"I've got a lot of respect for Christian and I think he's done a fantastic job.

"He's not a wing-back but, listen, every manager likes to try things and sometimes go, 'OK this is how it can bring out the best in the player' and sometimes they're absolutely right — you take a player like that and he's a transformation at that position.

"Graham Potter is well within his rights to be doing stuff like this now, why not? Give it a try. Since he [Potter] has been there, they've been doing a good job.

"What I see is every manager eventually trusts that he's going to give 100 per cent effort in training and he's going to be there for the team when they need him."
