Chelsea winger Pulisic signs long-term deal with Puma

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic has signed with Puma.

The American has signed a multi-year deal with the manufacturer, who will help Pulisic develop programs and opportunities for young players in his homeland.

Pulisic will sport some custom Puma boots for Chelsea's European Super Cup final against Villarreal on Wednesday.

"Anyone who loves soccer should be able to play," Pulisic said. "We have a platform in sports and, if something is truly meaningful, you can really help to open people's eyes and make changes.

"What I love about PUMA is they share my passion and my goal to support youth soccer in America and to help the next generation to chase their dreams."

He added: "In many ways it was a no-brainer for me to join PUMA. With its world-class and innovative products, PUMA embodies the culture of sports on and off the pitch. Their technical innovations revolve around speed, which is one of my biggest weapons. It's an honor to follow in the PUMA footsteps of some of the greatest players to have ever played the game, Pele, Maradona, and Johan Cruyff."
