New Chelsea signing Christian Pulisic is an inspiration for young American kids, his international teammate Tyler Adams has claimed.

The precocious winger is hoping to make a splash at Stamford Bridge after arriving from Borussia Dortmund.

"Christian came to Germany at the age of 14 and paved the way for many young Americans," Adams told Goal.

"Before him, there were no Americans who had success abroad at a young age. It's great to see how he has developed at Dortmund and is now even moving to Chelsea and the Premier League.

"I'm taking the same step as him, but it was a lot harder because he was younger and had fewer players to follow. Christian is a role model for many young Americans - including me."
