'They must like me a little bit!' - Pulisic excited for Chelsea move, but focused on Dortmund

The winger recently completed a major move to the Premier League, but he's focused on success in Germany first
Christian Pulisic is thrilled to be joining Chelsea, but the winger insists he's focused on Borussia Dortmund's pursuit of trophies most of all.
The American winger will join Chelsea this summer after completing a €64 million (£57.6m, $73.1m) deal to join the Premier League club.
Pulisic says he is undaunted by the fee and, although he is excited about the eventual move, he's only worried about his current club for the time being.

"For [Chelsea] to do this and to want me this much I think yeah they must like me, at least a little bit," Pulisic told ESPNFC.
“I've said I'm very excited," he added. "I'm really happy with the decision, but there is a time where I have to put it in the back of my head now, once the season gets going.
"All the excitement and everything is great but I'm also really excited for the rest of the season here and you know we want to fight and doing everything we can here to see what can happen this season.”
The U.S. National Team winger has earned the backing of Borussia Dortmund director Michael Zorc following the move, while former Manchester United and Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard says his U.S. team-mate will find success in the Premier League.
Pulisic has faith that he'll fit in well under Maurizio Sarri, who he has not spoken to since the move was finalized.
Under Sarri, wingers are asked to defend as well as attack, and Pulisic is prepared to play in the Italian manager's system once he makes the move to Stamford Bridge.

The American star says he sees himself in one of the wide positions, but added he's ready to play anywhere in the attack for Sarri.
"I think just from watching the games that I have been able to catch this year I just see a system in how their wingers play," he said.
"It's just a really good attacking, flowing system, and it's just football that I like to watch. I think they like to play out of the back, they're not afraid to play anywhere on the field and they're also very free once they get up the field. So it's just something that I like to see."

Chelsea edges closer to complete shock transfer of 23-year-old Man United star

According to the reports, Chelsea and Arsenal have been given a boost in their pursuit of Anthony Martial after his agent admitted he is ‘very pessimistic’ over Man United’s chances of finalising a new long-term deal for the French forward. The Red Devils have triggered Anthony Martial’s one-year option to keep him at the club until the summer of 2020. The current deal of the 23-year-old had been due to expire at the end of the season but Man United now have a further 12 months in which to sell or agree a new contract with the player. Martial’s agent, Philippe Lamboley, claimed in the summer that the former AS Monaco ace wanted to leave Old Trafford following months of failed contract negotiations. Both Arsenal and Chelsea have been monitoring Martial’s situation, but Man United’s hierarchy refused to sell in the summer despite the club already sacked Jose Mourinho after Liverpool defeat at Anfield 3-1.
