Christian Pulisic making his case as 'best American soccer player ever'

Christian Pulisic has quickly gone from coming off the bench to being arguably his team’s best player.

In the process, he’s making his case as the best American soccer player in the world.

Christian Pulisic scored his 8th goal of the 2019-20 @premierleague season today, giving him the 4th-most goals scored by an American player in a single Premier League season.

With four games still remaining this season, Pulisic has already scored as many goals as he had combined over his past two seasons in Germany’s Bundesliga professional soccer league.

It was the largest transfer fee ever paid by a professional team to land an American soccer player.

“At this moment, Christian Pulisic is arguably the best player on Chelsea and one of the best players in the EPL,” said FOX Sports soccer analyst Alexi Lalas.

“Over the past week, we are confirming what many people feel: that this is the best American player playing today.”.

Clint Dempsey tops the list of most goals scored by an American in the Premier League, with 57 in 218 career appearances, or a goal every 3.8 games

4 on that list with his eight EPL goals in 21 appearances, scoring once every 2.6 games in his young Premier League career

Yet the fact that he’s being referred to as one of the best players in the Premier League, and as the greatest American player in the game today, shows what a special talent he already is
