Pulisic promises commitment to Dortmund till the end of the season
Christian Pulisic has completed a €64 million move to Chelsea, with the American starlet set to join the Stamford Bridge outfit next summer. The 20-year-old will remain on loan at Dortmund for the rest of the season to help the club in their bid for the Bundesliga title.
Although he is nearing the end of his time at the Signal Iduna Park, Pulisic has made it clear that he will remain committed to his current club till the last ball is kicked and will try to do his level best on the field to contribute to Dortmund’s title surge.
And the 20-year-old has said goodbye to Dortmund in a lengthy letter where he thanked the club for playing a key role in his development.
“Liebe Borussen, It is with a heavy heart that I announce that I will be entering my final months at (y)our world-famous club,” Pulisic wrote in a statement released on social media.
“It feels like only yesterday that I arrived in Dortmund as a raw, excited, very nervous but exceptionally proud 16-year-old from a small American town called Hershey. I had no idea what lay ahead but I soon discovered that as a young Schwarzgelben, I would be in the best possible hands.
“I would not be where I am today without the club and their belief in giving young players a chance. It’s been an honour and a dream to pull on the black-and-yellow in front of the Sudtribune!
“Many, many memorable moments stand out – to have experienced all of them before my 20th birthday still feels, at times, like a dream. I would like to thank all those coaches who I have played under and who gave me these opportunities.
“And to my amazing team-mates throughout the years: You took me in as a young boy, shared your experience with me, helped me to develop and grow into a professional footballer. For this I sincerely thank you.
“But for the next six months, it’s all BVB! Please do not doubt my passion, determination and my 100 per cent commitment to the team right until the last ball is kicked this season. We all feel that this is ‘our year’ and we are determined to achieve the best possible results in all competitions.
