Chelsea yesterday vetoed a question to American striker Christian Pulisic on gun control in the USA — the country they are currently touring.
A club official stepped in when the 23-year-old was asked for his views on what is a huge issue in the US.
There have been a number of deadly mass shootings in America over recent months that have garnered lots of coverage in the media.
Christian Pulisic was stopped from answering a question on gun control in America
Pulisic was one of the members of US men’s national team who recently signed a letter calling on Congress to pass gun control legislation.
However, an attempt to attain the forward’s opinion yesterday was stopped after he seemed to display a pained expression when asked.
In response to the question, and following an exchange of glances with Pulisic, a Chelsea official said ‘that isn’t something for Christian to answer in this press conference’.
He has previously signed a letter to Congress calling for tighter gun control
Meanwhile, Kalidou Koulibaly says that he joined Chelsea ‘to play the greatest football in the world’ and that former Napoli team-mate Jorginho triggered his move.
The Senegal defender has joined Chelsea on tour following a £34m move from Italy.
He said: ‘I made a big choice to come to the Premier League and play the greatest football in the world.’ Koulibaly added: ‘Jorginho asked me if I wanted to come to Chelsea.
I said, ‘I want to come but don’t want to propose myself.’ If they want to come I will and after that my choice was done.’
