The United States’ soccer golden boy is on the move and headed to England and the Premier League.
Christian Pulisic, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder/right winger who has already established himself as the US National Team’s top player and the most talented American player in decades, will leave Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund and move to the Premier League’s Chelsea for a reported 64 million euro transfer fee.
The EPL giants have loaned Pulisic back to Borussia Dortmund until the end of the 2018-19 season, and then Pulisic will make the permanent move to England this summer.
Pulisic began his senior career with the German outfit in 2016 and became the youngest-ever non-German player to score a goal in the Bundesliga with a goal against Hamburger SV in April of that year.
Pulisic has scored 15 goals and recorded 24 assists in his Dortmund career. He has also already netted 9 goals in 23 caps with the United States National Team.
The 64 million euro fee paid by Chelsea for the Hershey, Pennsylvania native makes him the most expensive American soccer player in history.
He will look to become a key part of Chelsea’s future under manager Maurizio Sarri and to establish his position as one of the game’s top young stars.
