Chelsea signing Christian Pulisic pictured in Blues shirt at Stamford Bridge

Christian Pulisic has officially arrived at new club Chelsea after completing his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund.

The 20-year-old was pictured at Stamford Bridge wearing the Blues' new home shirt for the first time since agreeing a £58 million transfer in January.

Under the terms of the agreement between the two clubs, Pulisic spent the remainder of the 2018-19 season on loan with the Bundesliga club.

But after bidding farewell to the Bundesliga giants with an emotional speech to the club's 'Yellow Wall', Pulisic has joined up with his new Chelsea team-mates.

He becomes the second American to play for the club, following in the footsteps of Matt Miazga, who joined from New York Red Bulls in 2016.

"It feels amazing and I’m super excited to get started with Chelsea," Pulisic told the club's official website last week.

"It’s going to be an amazing experience, one I can’t wait for, and to be here in England, speaking English again and meeting all the guys is something I’m thrilled for.

"I’ve been waiting a long time for this and playing in the Premier League has been one of my biggest dreams. To be a Chelsea player is a huge honour and something I’m really excited for."

Pulisic has been named in the United States' 40-man provisional squad for the Gold Cup, which takes place between June 15 and July 7.
