Deal Close! Abramovich In £60m Deal To Sign Hazard Replacement

Premier League giants Chelsea have reportedly opened talks to sign highly-rated Borussia Dortmund forward Christian Pulisic in a deal that could be worth as much as £60m.

According to popular English news outlet Daily Mail, the Blues want to agree on a fee for the American international star for him to join the club at the end of this season.

It was further revealed that a transfer fee is still yet to be agreed between Chelsea and German Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund.

Earlier media reports had said that Chelsea have already agreed to a deal for Pulisic but those rumours were swiftly debunked by Borussia Dortmund.

• Liverpool Are Overwhelming Favorites To Sign Hazard

Pulisic has 18 months left on his Borussia Dortmund contract which expires at the end of the 2019/20 season.

Apart from Chelsea, Christian Pulisic has been linked with other English top flight heavyweights like Manchester United and Liverpool.

It was revealed that the player favours a move to Liverpool ahead of Chelsea and that he believes that a move to Stamford Bridge could spell doom for his career.

The 20-year-old has been on the fringes of the Borussia Dortmund this season and that’s mainly due to the form of fellow forwards Jadon Sancho and Johann Bruun Larsen.
