“There’s a champion mentality at this club” – Christian Pulisic states one big reason why he chose Chelsea in January

Christian Pulisic is almost certain to play without Eden Hazard after completing the deal to join the club from Borussia Dortmund.

The USA star will begin life fully as a Chelsea player at the start of pre-season but has already reported to Chelsea’s training base in Cobham earlier this week to familiarize himself with his new teammates and the club. He was greeted warmly and welcomed by the club after an official unveiling at Stamford Bridge where he posed in the famous blue shirt.

Pulisic will now focus on making his time in the Premier League a success. He wants to win big trophies and knows he needs his teammates to do so. The 20-year old winger has admitted Maurizio Sarri’s players have the right mentality to win more trophies despite losing out on three out of four bits of silverware this season:

“There’s no doubt City had a great season, but Chelsea … there’s a champion mentality at this club. They are a confident group of guys who understand we have a long way to go, but we have a great squad already and everyone wants to take the steps so we can compete right away.

Chelsea will make a last attempt to lift a trophy this season in their meeting with Arsenal in the Europa League final in Baku, Azerbaijan.
