He made his Dortmund debut in 2016 and went on to appear another 126 times for Dortmund, scoring 19 goals and assisting 26 times for five years.
In January 2019, he made his big move to Chelsea and the Premier League but the winger was sidelined due to injuries and constant change in the backroom staff, seeing him fall in the pecking order.
Pulisic’s full focus is now on the world cup as the USMNT captain wants to make his country proud after missing out on Russia 2018.
