Chelsea New signing tipped to succeed

Tim Howard has said that Christian Pulisic will succeed in a tough English Premier League after the switch from Borussia Dortmund to Chelsea.

The US international joined the Blues in a deal reported to be around €64 million ($73 million) but would remain with the Bundesliga side for the entirety of this season. Borussia is chasing their domestic league title and drew Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League round of 16.

“It is a massive club, but he’s played for a massive club already. Dortmund is no slouch, and he went there under Jurgen Klopp and he’s grown up there and learned a lot of his trade in the Bundesliga. He’s played a big part for the U.S. national team, so as much as the price tag is massive, which it is, he’s ready to perform.” Howard told ESPN.

“The Premier League presents its own trials and tribulations, it’s a rough-and-tumble league, it’s up and down, but he’s shown to be pretty strong even though he’s not the biggest guy in the world. I think his talents will lend themselves very well to the way Chelsea play football.”
