CHELSEA star Christian Pulisic posted a video of himself doing keepy-ups in time to Drake’s new song as part of the Toosie Slide challenge sweeping social media.
The USA international was seen showing off his silky skills in a video posted on his Instagram story and later shared by the club’s official Twitter page.

The 21-year-old is sure to have lifted the spirits of Blues fans stuck at home as the world comes to grips with Covid-19.
However, the soccer ace has not always been so successful in showcasing his showboating tricks from home.
Back in March the midfielder crashed to the grass after tripping on the ball in a social media video filmed in his garden during isolation.
Second time round the American’s keepy-ups were far smoother and even rhythmical as he posted his effort of the Toosie Slide challenge – which stems from the name of Canadian rapper Drake’s latest single.
Pulisic has not played for Chelsea since January 1 after suffering an adductor injury in training.
He was thought to be back close to fitness after appearing in a behind-closed-doors match for Frank Lampard’s side recently.
But any chance of a return to action has been wiped out by the spread of coronavirus – the pandemic bringing world football to a crashing halt.
The Premier League is suspended and the UK is on lockdown so football players and fans alike have far more time on their hands than usual.

Chelsea posted the video along with the caption: “Taking the #toosieslidechallenge to a whole new level!”
Fans were vocal in their approval of Pulisic’s antics – one supporter said: “Don’t ever mock Pulisic again, he’s too slick”.
Others were quick to remind the star of his previous failures – one fan added: “At least he stayed on his feet this time.”
