Christian Pulisic will be a great signing for Chelsea.
That’s the view of the USA international's teammate Weston McKennie, who has been used to playing both with and against the 20-year-old during their time in the Bundesliga.
Having signed for the Blues during the January transfer window only to be loaned back to Borussia Dortmund for the remainder of the season, Pulisic will join up with his new teammates in pre-season.

And he could find himself as a direct replacement for Eden Hazard, and the likelihood of the Belgium international leaving will hand the United States international a huge void to fill.
On top of that, Pulisic looks set to be the only new arrival at Stamford Bridge this summer due to the FIFA-imposed transfer ban, but Schalke’s McKennie believes he may need time to settle.
"Christian is the type of player who likes a challenge and likes to experience new things as well," he told Sky Sports.
"I think he'll be a great signing for Chelsea.
"He may not get it right away, he may get in and play you never know, but I think he'll be helpful for them in any way that they use him.
"I'm excited for him and I know he's excited to start that next chapter of his career and make an even bigger name for himself."
Pulisic played his final game for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday and the Bundesliga runners-up had a classy message following the win over Borussia Monchengladbach.
"You came to us as a boy and left as a man. Thank you, Christian," they tweeted.
