Breaking News: Maurizio Sarri Willing To Sign £65m-rated Attacker

According to recent media reports, Maurizio Sarri is intersted in Christian Pulisic and Chelsea believe they have a chance of bringing in this winter due to the expiration of his contract in 2020.

Valued in the region of £65m by Borussia Dortmund and also thought to interest rivals Liverpool, the 19-year-old star is already well on the way to boasting 100 appearances in the Bundesliga, despite still being a teenager.

Getting into the starting eleven at west London on a regular basis would certainly represent a significant challenge for the US youngster, with Eden Hazard, Pedro and Willian competing for playing time in attacking areas.

Having converted Dries Mertens into a world-class striker during his time in charge of Napoli, however, it is clear that Maurizio Sarri is an innovative thinker who would find a way to make the American an important part of his plans.
