Player admits he couldn’t turn down the chance of joining Chelsea

United States international Christian Pulisic has admitted he couldn’t turn down the chance of joining Chelsea.

Pulisic joined Chelsea from Dortmund for a fee of £57.6 million back in January 2019.

“I always wanted to play in Europe,” Pulisic told BT Sport.

“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.”
