Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic has sent a message of warning to his fellow forwards as he is determined to prove himself this season under Graham Potter.
The USMNT star was previously out of favour under former head coach Thomas Tuchel, with a lack of game time leading to interest in a departure.
However, Pulisic remained a Chelsea player despite interest from Manchester United and Newcastle and he is now looking to push on under Potter.

The winger was not selected from the start in Potter's first match, a 1-1 draw with FC Salzburg, but will be looking to push on and earn a place in the Chelsea side this season.
As quoted by ESPN, Pulisic has admitted that he is determined to prove himself under Potter as he sent a word of warning to his fellow Chelsea attackers.
"I'm feeling good going back, honestly," Pulisic admitted about his return to Chelsea from international duty.

"I have a fresh start now, and I'm excited to play for the new manager.
"So really just looking forward to it. I just have to prove myself, as everyone does, and as I've done before."
Chelsea's attackers struggled in front of goal under Tuchel towards his final months as the head coach.

However, the German stuck with Mason Mount and Kai Havertz in attack, rarely handing opportunities to the likes of Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech.
Under Potter, there is a fresh slate for everyone at the club and Pulisic is looking to take this chance.
So far this season, he has made eight apperances in all competitions.

However, Pulisic is yet to score his first goal of the season as the 24-year-old looks to push on and earn his place under new coach Potter.
Despite the eight apperances, Pulisic has only played 117 minutes in all competitions.
It is now the time for the USMNT star to work hard to earn his place in the Blues side as he looks to a future under the new regime.
With the World Cup coming up, first team football is a must for Pulisic before he looks to lead the USMNT to glory.
