Chelsea post incredible throwback snap of 11-year-old Christian Pulisic meeting Mason Mount on academy visit
CHELSEA released a throwback image of Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount as youngsters.
The picture was taken as the Blues’ Cobham training ground in 2010, meaning they were both 11.
Since Pulisic arrived at Chelsea last summer, he has formed a good partnership with Mount.
The attacking pair were both nominated for Premier League young player of the season.
Pulisic scored 11 times and provided 10 assists in his debut season at Stamford Bridge.
He revealed the move was destined after releasing incredible pictures of himself at Chelsea with Jose Mourinho’s title-winning squad as a kid.
In a video posted by The Players’ Tribune, Pulisic showed off snaps of himself as a wide-eyed youngster in awe, visiting Stamford Bridge for the first time.
Mourinho’s side were well on their way to a second consecutive Premier League title in 2006.
A young Pulisic could hardly contain his excitement.

Now a Chelsea star himself, he said: “The craziest thing is I remember going to Chelsea.
“I was very young, I was just going there to train with the youth Chelsea team and I remember being at the training ground, which I then a few weeks ago go back and see.
“I see the same thing and I’m like wow, it’s crazy how full circle it came.”
