The biggest news of the transfer window so far has been Chelsea securing the services of young sensation Christian Pulisic. The American has been fabulous for Borussia Dortmund this season and has been one of the best young talents in Europe.

Chelsea reacted the quickest and got their man as the transfer window opened. He has cost the Blues £58m and has been loaned back to Dortmund for the rest of the season

Pulisic is a creative midfielder who excels in the No. 10 role, as he mixes his speed with dribbling skills to beat his opponents. He is equally adept at playing on both sides of the field, because of his two-footed abilities, but has played mostly in the right wing for Dortmund this season.

The American's signing might be a hint at Eden Hazard's long term future at Stamford Bridge. Pulisic is seen as a player with similar abilities who can thrive in the Premier League, and he could even be the Belgian's replacement as Real Madrid continue to have Hazard on their radar. However, only time will tell if Pulisic will be a success at Stamford Bridge.

Which of these three will have the biggest impact at their new clubs? Let us know in the comments.
