American winger Christian Pulisic has admitted that the opportunity to join Chelsea was too good to turn down. Pulisic was brought in with the premise that he could be the long-term investment for the departed Eden Hazard, who left for Real Madrid during the summer transfer window.
However, Pulisic has not had the best of first seasons at Chelsea this season and has been plagued by injuries, which has stopped him from showing the fans just why he is one of the most exciting players in Europe right now.
But he is expected to showcase his real ability next season, and even though there are many that doubt a move to Chelsea was the right one to make, Pulisic has opened up on the opportunity to sign with the Blues.
The 21-year-old told BT Sport: “I always wanted to play in Europe.
“Going to Dortmund was definitely a perfect first step for me. It was awesome, and I learned so much. I grew up there – I went over there when I was 15. “Now, to be here and come to the Premier League when I was 20, I think it all worked out very well so I’m really happy with the path.
“I was confident and felt like I had a good couple of years in the Bundesliga, and obviously with the opportunity to come to a club like Chelsea – it was just something I couldn’t turn down. “I just felt like the timing was perfect and I’m really happy that I made that choice.”
There has been so much speculation about possible new signings coming in that many will forget that Chelsea have some of the most exciting young players on the wings right now, players like Pulisic.
Yes he has not had the best of seasons at Chelsea, but at the end of the day, Chelsea signed him knowing that he is destined for big things, so hopefully he will come back raring to go as he has alot to offer the fans. He can and should be a big star for Chelsea in the soming seasons.
