3 major implications Christian Pulisic's transfer could have on Chelsea
The Blues have had a roller coaster season so far and are currently placed fourth on the table. The much talked about 'Sarriball' seems to be settling in, as has been clearly marked by Chelsea's massive increase in possession from prior seasons.
In an effort to challenge for the title next season, Chelsea have made their largest transfer in a while now by snapping up Borussia Dortmund star Christian Pulisic for a whopping £58 millon.
The 20-year-old youngster has shown how he could be one for the future with his exploits in the Bundesliga, having scored 10 goals for Dortmund. He has featured 23 times for the United States, in which he has found the back of the net 9 times already!
Let us look at three major impacts that this stunning transfer could have for the club:
3. Sell/loan Callum Hudson-Odoi
Hudson-Odoi attracted attention in the pre-season fixtures, impressing by playing where the Blues fans are accustomed to seeing their beloved Eden Hazard. The left winger is a mere 18 years old and is already touted by Sarri himself to be one of Europe's finest. Much like the predicament of a lot of young stars in Chelsea's past, the youngster has found himself devoid of chances so far this season.
With giants Bayern Munich showing interest in the Chelsea academy product, it would not be too surprising to see Hudson-Odoi be loaned out or even sold with the arrival of Christian Pulisic. This news would not be taken well by the Chelsea youth squad and fans alike, owing to the fact that a lot of the Chelsea academy stars have not been given ample opportunities to don the blue.
