This might come as a surprise to many, but Pulisic actually lived in England for a year at the tender age of 7 and even played for Brackley Town’s youth team. In fact, his father Mark credits England for instilling the love for football in Christian, with the youngster spending hours upon hours indulging in a kickabout or two.

England seemed to have a major impact on the youngster, who once stated: “England, the Premier League, is a league where lots of kids dream of playing so there is no reason why maybe one day I won’t play here”.

After his transfer to the Blues, it was finally revealed that Pulisic always harboured aspirations of playing in the Premier League, which is why a move to Chelsea - one of the biggest clubs in the world - was a dream come true for the young American.
