Borussia Dortmund’s attacking prodigy Christian Pulisic is highly regarded as one of the world’s best teenage footballers, at the moment. Ever since his breakout season in 2016, the American has been hugely impressive in the Bundesliga, producing a series of remarkable performances, which has eventually made him one of the most important Dortmund players in the current roster.
Especially with the likes of Marco Reus, Raphael Guerreiro, Mario Gotze and Andre Schurrle struggling with frequent injury troubles, Christian Pulisic’s presence in the team has come as a relief for Dortmund.
Despite his inconsistent performances, of late, Christian Pulisic has been one of Dortmund’s best attackers this season, if not the best.
That being said, however, the black and yellows might find it very difficult to keep hold of their prized attacking asset, with numerous clubs vying for his signature. While the American has already confessed that he would like to consider offers in the upcoming summer, Pulisic has also recently revealed his love for Manchester United, stating that he was always a fan of the Red Devils when he was a kid.
According to reports, Chelsea are keen to secure the services of the Borussia Dortmund starlet this summer but could face stiff competition from Liverpool and Manchester United.
The Red Devils could be in the driver’s seat considering the fact that Pulisic has already declared his love for Manchester United, but should Chelsea go all out to try and beat United and Liverpool, in the pursuit of the highly rated American wonderkid?
The answer would be a resounding – YES!
Chelsea, as a club, has struggled to perform in the Premier League this season, failing to live up to their expectation following an incredible debut season for Antonio Conte. They are currently sitting fourth in the league table with a crucial Champions League tie against Barcelona coming up. A loss against the Catalans could further derail their mediocre campaign and could also potentially, force Chelsea to sack Antonio Conte.
Lack of offensive thrust has mainly been the problem for Chelsea this season. With the departure of Diego Costa, the Blues have found it difficult to make use of their chances while the likes of Willian and Pedro have been far from their level best.
Therefore, the London giants could be tempted to boost their attacking department this summer, with Christian Pulisic being one of the candidates. The 19-year-old has all the qualities in the world to thrive at Chelsea. His addition to this Blues frontline could be a massive boost for any manager in the world.
Highly known for his old-school approach when playing out wide, Pulisic is one of those wingers who like to get to the byline and provide dangerous balls into the box. In addition, the American teenager is highly superior when it comes to dribbling. His sheer pace coupled with his willingness to always drift into spaces could be beneficial for Chelsea.
While he may not have the best of physiques, Pulisic’s low centre of gravity helps him drift past opposing defender at ease, which can be particularly useful in the Premier League. Furthermore, considering the fact that Pulisic is highly used to the pacy football, the youngster should have no difficulties in getting used to the Premier League.
Therefore, it would be interesting to see what measures Chelsea take, in order to secure the services of this highly-rated youngster, who looks destined for a move to the Premier League in the coming days.
