Chelsea's £58 million signing Pulisic can prove himself worth every penny

The 20-year-old American winger will move to Stamford Bridge this summer and face a new level of expectation in the Premier League

The start of 2019 was supposed to serve as the unofficial launch of the Christian Pulisic sweepstakes, what with a growing number of teams being linked with the 20-year-old American sensation.

Chelsea ended the contest before it had a chance to ever get going, though, making Borussia Dortmund a £58 million ($73m) offer that they simply couldn't refuse. And now instead of a chase for Pulisic, the next six months will serve as a half-year engagement before Pulisic's long-expected marriage to the Premier League becomes reality.
