Christian Pulisic has struggled with injuries and form this season for Borussia Dortmund, but the Chelsea winger showed what he was capable of at the weekend.
The 20-year-old scored the opening goal with an excellent solo run in the 2-2 draw against Werder Bremen on Saturday:

Fans are hoping Pulisic brings that sort of quality and skill when he arrives at Stamford Bridge in the summer:
That’s the Pulisic I want for Chelsea, Pure Class?

Should have had the winner too. He & RLC will make a deadly pair from the wings.

Pulisic may very well be the club’s only new addition to the squad if Chelsea’s appeal against a transfer ban isn’t successful.
Most supporters are highly anticipating the £58m signing‘s arrival once his loan spell at Dortmund ends. He has undoubted natural talent and is still learning the game at 20 years of age.
However, the sizeable fee means fans rightly expect to see a top player, consistently playing at the top of his game every week. Whether he’ll live up to expectations, we shall see.
