Christian Pulisic delivers verdict on Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech to Chelsea transfers

Christian Pulisic has revealed he's very 'excited' to play with new Chelsea signings Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech.

The Blues have already completed two major summer deals after close to a £100million outlay on the attacking duo.

The arrival of Werner, in particular, offers greater competition for Pulisic, who has been one of Chelsea's star performers since the Premier League restarted.

Although the German is an alternative to Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud, he's also adept at playing off the left-hand side as he did for RB Leipzig on numerous occasions.

However, despite the extra competition, Pulisic has insisted he's very eager to take to the field with his new teammates and believe Chelsea will be very strong next season.

He told Sky Sports: "I’m excited to work with them. ‘It’s fun to play with good players, it’s easy to play with them and those are two guys we know that are really talented guys so I’m really looking forward to it.

"We can have a really strong team next season. I think there’s still work that needs to be done [to catch Liverpool and Man City].

"You can see this year that those two, especially Liverpool, have been just so consistent and dominant and that’s right where we want to be.

"We want to continue to be that consistent team week in week out, in tough games, midweek games. We want to be ready and be up for the challenge always.

"And that’s what it’s going to take. We still have our work to do but that’s where we want to be.

"We want to continue to win trophies, that’s always a goal. We want to continue to be a strong team, contending for that Premier League title."
