Chelsea took Sarri by surprise with the signing of Christian Pulisic

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri claims that he had little idea that the club was going to complete the transfer of Christian Pulisic even a day before the deal was officially announced.

Chelsea confirmed on their website on Wednesday that the club had reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund over the ÂŁ58 million signing of United States winger Christian Pulisic. However, as a part of the agreement, Pulisic has been loaned back to Dortmund for the remainder of the season and will only be seen in the Premier League in the upcoming season.

The 20-year-old established himself as one of the hottest young talents in the Bundesliga and a number of top clubs, including Liverpool, were interested in signing the United States prodigy.

As things shaped up, Sarri was totally surprised that Chelsea completed the deal all of a sudden, although the club had asked him for his assessment of the player a month back.

“I didn’t know anything about Pulisic yesterday [Tuesday],” Sarri told reporters after Wednesday’s 0-0 draw with Southampton.

“The club asked my opinion about him about one month ago. My opinion was positive. Today I have known that the deal is done, but I didn’t know anything.”
