Despite Chelsea’s transfer ban, there will be at least one player arriving at the club in the summer. Christian Pulisic joined the Blues officially in January but was loaned back to Borussia Dortmund.
Some have questioned the £58m fee that the club shelled out on the American international, but he showed his talent whilst playing for the USA last night. The 20-year-old put his side 1-0 up against Chile with an excellent chipped finish:

Supporters on Twitter are hoping he can replicate that type of display when he moves to Chelsea at the end of the season:
What a baller man. Can’t wait till he joins us

Some think he needs to work on his knee slide celebration, with many believing he should learn how to do it from new teammate Eden Hazard:
Gonna need him to work on that knee slide, not Chelsea level ?

While Pulisic’s form at club level has been patchy this campaign, he returned to form with an excellent cameo in the 3-1 win against Stuttgart a few weeks ago.
With the game 1-1, the American played a pivotal role after coming on as a substitute with 11 minutes remaining. He assisted Paco Alcacer’s goal to put them ahead and completed the scoring himself in the 92nd minute.
