Christian Pulisic’s journey has been incredible. He climbed up the order to break into the first team for Borussia Dortmund in 2016.
The talented winger quickly established himself as a regular in BVB’s starting XI. He helped them fight for the Bundesliga title and success in the Champions League.
He caught the attention of the Chelsea FC wit his impressive attacking instincts. Chelsea was eager to land the American attacker and spent £58 million on him.
The attacking teenager didn’t get the opportunity to start immediately for Chelsea. He was gradually integrated into the starting XI by the Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard.
Remember when Pulisic made Gomez, TAA and Fabinho look like championship players?

Lampard made no mistake with his decision as the guy rewarded with fantastic displays as a substitute.
As he played more and more matches, he became one of the top performers for Chelsea last season. He scored nine goals in his first 29 appearances for the Blues.
The 21-year-old returned as arguably the best performer of the Premier after football resumed during the COVID period with back to back stellar displays. He reached a staggering 10 assists and netted 11 times in his debut season in England. That included the openers in Chelsea’s first two games after the restart to help the team competing for the race of a top-four finish.
The performances of the United States youngster helped the team finish fourth in the Premier League and reach the FA Cup final. He also scored a fine goal in the FA Cup final leaving no Chelsea fans doubts over his talents.

He is now being tipped to play an instrumental role in Chelsea’s hunt for major silverware in the 2020-21 season.
Gregg Berhalter, the manager of the United States, says that Christian Pulisic has the talent to play for European giants like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, or Real Madrid. He is of the opinion that if he maintains his current level, he will certainly attract the interests of these clubs.
Berhalter can see the Chelsea attacker playing at an even higher level if he continues on his current trajectory, having seen the guy adapting English football quicker than anybody else could have ever anticipated.
The United States boss said: “Pulisic is a leader at Chelsea at 21. It doesn’t happen that often that a player from the Bundesliga goes to a top club in England and immediately convinces there.
“Christian quickly got used to the speed and the more physical style of playing in England. He is a role model for all other US players in the Bundesliga whose goal is the Premier League.
“Christian is perfect for Chelsea. All dangerous offensive actions run through him, he shines as a goalscorer and as a preparer.
“If Christian maintains this level, he can also play for the biggest clubs in the world like Bayern, Barcelona or Real Madrid without any problems.”
Christian Pulisic has the potential to be one of the World’s outstanding players. He could easily be not only the first American superstar of World football but also the main attraction of the global game.
Quite possibly, he has the ability to be a serious contender for Ballon d’Or in the near future as he still got time to improve more than what he is currently. He has a dynamic style and a bright future ahead if he hones his skills and keeps consistency as he matures more.
Chelsea has to fight more than hard to keep this guy in Stamford Bridge. He surely will have a plethora of interesting offers in front of him.
