Pulisic says it feels amazing to be at Chelsea working under Frank Lampard,
who he grew up watching as a kid.
The American winger decided to join up with his new Chelsea team-mates early
and met them in Japan on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old is back in pre-season training just nine days after the
USA's Gold Cup final defeat to Mexico.
Pulisic told GAFFER Magazine: 'When I think of this club, there's a lot of
great players that come to mind. I grew up watching Frank Lampard and all of
those guys at the top of their game in the Premier League and in the
Champions League.
"To me, Chelsea were always one of the biggest teams and now to be playing
here, it's really come full circle from that moment. It feels amazing."
Pulisic joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund at the start of January but
went back to the German club on loan for the rest of the season.
More than six months after signing, Pulisic is set to make his debut in
their J.League World Challenge match with Kawasaki Frontale on Friday
morning.
He hopes he can bring a new dynamic to Chelsea's squad, following the
departure of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid last month.
Pulisic added: "I think I have a lot of speed and creativity that I can
bring to the game; quickness and different attacking abilities that can
really help the team.
"I think I have some tools that can really do well in this league [Premier
League]. I just can't wait."
