Pulisic 'super excited' about Chelsea 'and playing with Kante'

Christian Pulisic says he's "super excited" ahead of kicking off his Chelsea career.

The attacker will team up with Chelsea for pre-season, after initially joining in January from Borussia Dortmund before returning to the German side on loan for the remainder of this campaign.

"It feels amazing and I'm super excited to get started with Chelsea," Pulisic told chelseafc.com.

"Obviously I have a season to finish off with Dortmund but I'm definitely looking forward to be here [with Chelsea]. It's going to be an amazing experience, one I can't wait for, and to be here in England, speaking English again and meeting all the guys is something I'm thrilled for.

"I've been waiting a long time for this and playing in the Premier League has been one of my biggest dreams. To be a Chelsea player is a huge honour and something I'm really excited for."

He also said: "There are so many great players here already and I can't wait to work with them all.

"I'm excited to play alongside N'Golo Kante, I think he's a fantastic player and I can't wait to meet him.

"Also there's the guys in the backline, players like David Luiz and [Toni] Rudiger, I'm looking forward to working with them and I think it's going to be really cool."
