Chelsea have announced the signing of Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic for a fee of £58m.
The 20 year old was linked to several top six clubs in the Premier League, but it is the West London club that has won the battle to secure his signature.
The United States international intially joined the Bundesliga leaders in 2016 as a 17 year old, and he has since gone on to establish himself as an international winger.
He has made over a 100 appearances for the Signal Iduma outfit, with 18 of those coming this season, with three goals to his name.
He is now expected to be loaned back to the German club, before he fully joins Maurizio Sarri's Stamford Bridge outfit in the summer.
He becomes the first major money signing of the January transfer window in the Premier League and joins a long list of players signed by Chelsea at a young age who were immediately loaned out of the club. But his time away would be a short one as he is expected back at the club in six months.
