Christian Pulisic has signed for Chelsea in a deal worth 57.7million, the Premier League club have confirmed.The 20-year-old winger will stay at Borussia Dortmund on loan until the end of the season before linking up with the Blues for the 2019/20 campaign.
2Christian Pulisic 2018/19 league stats
Appearances – 5 (6)Goals – 1Assists – 2Shots per game – 0.6Key passes per game – 0.8Dribbles per game – 1.7Crosses per game – 0.5Tackles per game – 0.4WhoScored.com rating – 6.76An immediately obvious cause for concern is Pulisic’s goal return. One goal in 483 minutes is considerably sub-par, especially considering Dortmund have netted 44 times this season.This is not due to a lack of game time, either. Last season the United States winger bagged just four league goals in 2313 minutes of football.Pedro’s goals will need replacing – the Spaniard already has six in the league this season at a rate of one goal every 157 minutes.Pedro 2018/19 league stats

Appearances – 16 (3)Goals – 10Assists – 9Shots per game – 2.7Key passes per game – 2.8Dribbles per game – 2.9Crosses per game – 0.8Tackles per game – 0.4WhoScored.com rating – 7.94Pulisic has spent most of his career on the right wing, so he does not represent the most natural replacement for Hazard.That role appears more suited to Chelsea’s rising academy star Callum Hudson-Odoi.Hazard’s sensational form this season comes down to the freedom granted to him by Sarri – no longer is he hindered by added defensive responsibilities.However, that means more work for the man on the opposite flank. Pedro and Willian are averaging 0.8 and 1.2 tackles per game, while Pulisic is making just 0.4 at Dortmund.
