Christian Pulisic identifies “most lethal finisher”, two fastest players at Chelsea

Christian Pulisic has hailed team-mate Giroud as the ‘most lethal finisher’ at Chelsea.

Pulisic believes Fikayo Tomori and Timo Werner are the two fastest players at Chelsea and has hailed Olivier Giroud as the best finisher at the club.

USA international Pulisic is known for his blistering pace and insists he is one of the quickest players currently at Stamford Bridge.

But the 22-year-old would not fancy his chances in a race against Tomori and Werner, who he rates as the two fastest players at Chelsea.

Asked which Chelsea star would win a 100m race, Pulisic told Sky Sports: “That’s a good question. ‘I think I would definitely put myself in the top-five, not number one, probably not number two, but top five.

“I know Fikayo [Tomori] is fast, Timo [Werner] is fast. There’s a lot of fast guys in the team.”

Pulisic also hailed Giroud as the ‘most lethal finisher’ at Chelsea. The French striker is enjoying a productive season under Frank Lampard, scoring 12 goals in all competitions.

Pulisic said: “I would have to go with Olivier Giroud.

“[He’s a] lethal finisher, especially with first-time shots or volleys. He just always gets a clean contact on the ball.

“He’s really strong in front of goal.”
