Pulisic says that it is a privilege for him to be a part of Chelsea
Chelsea have set the ball rolling in the January transfer window with the signing of Borussia Dortmund and America winger Christian Pulisic for a fee of €64 million, making him the third most expensive buy for the Blues in their history.
However, Pulisic will remain at his current club on loan till the end of the season and join Chelsea next summer before the start of the 2019-20 season. And the 20-year-old has stated that it is an honour for him to be a part of a legendary club like Chelsea.
“In summer I move on to Chelsea and to a new competition, the English Premier League,” Pulisic told Chelsea’s official website.
“It’s a privilege to have signed for such a legendary club and I look forward to working hard towards being a contributor to their team of world-class players.”
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia hailed Pulisic’s potential after the 20-year-old’s switch was agreed.
“We are delighted to have signed one of Europe’s most sought-after young players,” she said in a club statement.
“Christian has shown his quality during a fantastic spell in Germany and at just 20, we believe he has the potential to become an important Chelsea player for many years to come.
“We look forward to welcoming him to Stamford Bridge in the summer and wish him and Dortmund every success for the remainder of the season.”
