USA international, Christian Pulisic has expressed immense joy at signing for a legendary club like Chelsea.
The 20-year-old winger completed a £58 million move, but will be loaned back to Dortmund and join the Blues in the summer of 2019.
Pulisic penned a heartfelt goodbye letter to Dortmund, hailing his current employers for the role they have played in his career.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce that I will be entering my final months at (Dortmund)our world-famous club,” he said.
“It feels like only yesterday that I arrived in Dortmund as a raw, excited, very nervous but exceptionally proud 16-year-old from a small American town called Hershey. I had no idea what lay ahead but I soon discovered that as a young Schwarzgelben, I would be in the best possible hands.
“I would not be where I am today without the club and their believe in giving young players a chance. It’s been an honor and a dream to pull on the black-and-yellow in front of the Sudtribune!
“Many, many memorable moments stand out – to have experienced all of them before my 20th birthday still feels, at times, like a dream. I would like to thank all those coaches who I have played under and who gave me these opportunities.
“And to my amazing teammates throughout the years: You took me in as a young boy, shared your experience with me, helped me to develop and grown into a professional footballer. For this I sincerely thank you.
“To our unbelievable fans: It’s been a privilege to stand with you on the Sudtribune and to experience how you support your heroes. I feel honored to have been able to make the trip from being a supporter, to being supported. You have taken me in as one of your own. Thank you.
