Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc says Christian Pulisic will be a success at Chelsea.

Chelsea have paid the German side £58million and loaned him back to them for the remainder of the current season.

"He's a lad who comes with that typically American self-confidence," he told ESPN.

"Many of his characteristics will help him in England where everything is just little bit more intense than in the Bundesliga.

"He has the pace, he's got the dribbling, he wants to get ahead at all costs. I don't know a single reason why he wouldn't make it there."

He was one of the most sought-after attackers in Europe and had been heavily linked with Liverpool before agreeing to move to Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich were also said to be monitoring his progress.

"We took a collective decision with Christian's family and his agent that we would transfer him in the summer of 2019 if he didn't want to extend his contract with us," Zorc added.

"That decision was taken, and it then came to pass over the last few months.

“It wasn't a case of talks with Chelsea starting at Christmas and being concluded on New Year's Eve - this had been going on for weeks if not to say months."
