Azpilicueta ‘very happy’ with Pulisic signing

Christian Pulisic’s addition to Chelsea is welcome news to defender Cesar Azpilicueta, who is pleased the club is adding talented young players to the squad.

The United States international was announced as a £58 million ($73m) signing from Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, though Pulisic will remain with the Bundesliga club for the remainder of the season on loan.

The 20-year-old winger will join next summer hoping to make an immediate impact at the club, and praise of his talent is known to Azpilicueta, which has the defender excited for Pulisic’s arrival.
