A verbal agreement is in place for the American to leave Germany for England.

Rumors linking Christian Pulisic with a move to the Premier League are nothing new, but the latest reports claim an agreement is in place for his inevitable transfer.

The likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, and Arsenal have been interested in the American, but it's Chelsea that appears to have won the race for his services. This is according to a report by Bild which states the Blues have agreed a $57M deal for the starlet.

Pulisic is considered a top prospect, hence the interest from several English elite. However, after losing his place to Jadon Sancho in the Dortmund lineup, the 20-year-old is now ready for pastures new.

Nothing is official, meaning neither clubs have commented on these rumors. However, it is believed that a verbal agreement is in place and that his Bundesliga employers have given the move the green light for the right price. The deal could thus be completed and announced as early as January.

This will likely be a step-up for the USMNT star. At Stamford Bridge, he would be playing in one of -- if not the - most competitive leagues in the world. He would also find himself under more spotlight in London.

With Willian and Pedro being 30 and 31 respectively, Pulisic could usher out Sarri's aging winger. His arrival could also bring worry if he is deemed to be a replacement for Eden Hazard, a man who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
