Borussia Dortmund have confirmed Christian Pulisic will move to Chelsea but the Bundesliga leaders will retain the United States international on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old, who can play on either wing or as a central attacker, is one of the most exciting young players in world football, with numerous records to his name already.
Pulisic may have been usurped by Jadon Sancho at Dortmund, losing his place amid a contract saga that dragged on, but for €64million Chelsea have signed a forward with boundless potential.
Omnisport assesses the Opta numbers to examine what Chelsea can expect from a talented young player who becomes the third most expensive signing in the history of the club.

Paris Saint-Germain returned to winning ways in the absence of Neymar as Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe inspired a 3-0 Ligue 1 win at 10-man Amiens on Saturday.
The champions and runaway leads were sensationally knocked out of the Coupe de la Ligue by Guingamp in midweek and were not at their best again in northern France.
With Neymar, again the subject of transfer speculation with reports he is begging for a return to Barcelona, left out of the squad after Thomas Tuchel described him as very tired , PSG found it difficult to break down the league s fourth-bottom side until the 57th minute.
Cavani broke the deadlock from the penalty spot after Alexis Blin was penalised for handball and, following a red card for Amiens centre-back Khaled Adenon, the Uruguay in…

Hoping to pile even more pressure onto Newcastle this weekend, Crystal Palace will welcome Newcastle to Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, after being left heartbroken across the capital on Monday night, there is no doubt that Crystal Palace will be desperate to build off of their positives. Having to settle for a 2-2 draw away at Arsenal after watching the Gunners snatch a last-gasp equalizer, the Eagles do appear to have found their feet under new boss Patrick Vieira. While the south London outfit might have only managed to collect just a single Premier League win since opening the 2021/22 campaign, Palace will be smelling a real chance here. Showing what they can do with that stunning 3-0 romp ag…
Reading defeated Cardiff 3-0 last night to claim a place in the Championship play-off final.
The defeat of the Welsh side on their own turf was a superb result. Everybody including myself believed the tie would be a tight affair.
However it turned out to be far from tight, as Brian McDermott’s side produced the perfect away performance.
Reading will now face Swansea at Wembley on May 30th for the chance to play Premier League football next season.

John Carver admitted Grant Hanley’s lack of recent game time for Scotland is a concern but he remains hopeful that the injury-plagued Norwich defender can prove his fitness in time for the European Championship.
The 32-year-old was due to join up with the squad this month for the first time in a year after recovering from an Achilles problem that sidelined him from April to December last year.
Having made nine appearances since returning to action on Boxing Day, however, Hanley withdrew on Tuesday from the Scotland squad for the upcoming friendlies against the Netherlands and Northern Ireland after missing the last two Norwich matches with an ankle injury that forced him off against Middlesbrough earlier this month.
Scotland squad update.
