Liverpool target Christian Pulisic is “Premier League-bound”

Borussia Dortmund superstar Christian Pulisic is set for a summer move to the Premier League, according to the Mirror.

The highly-rated youngster has been continually linked with joining Liverpool and they appear to be right in the hunt for his signature.

Pulisic is believed to be choosing between the Reds and Chelsea as his next destination, having told teammates he intends to head to England.

A January move has been mooted in recent weeks, but it now looks like he will remain with Dortmund until the end of the season, according to sporting director Michael Zorc, who said:

We have known these rumours for many years. We plan at least until the end of the season with him.

Pulisic is seen as one of world football’s most gifted young stars, with the American’s marketability also a huge draw.

Jurgen Klopp is an admirer of the £70million-rated forward – he joined Dortmund when the German was still manager in 2015 – who possesses the versatility and team ethic to be a huge asset to his Liverpool side.

Chelsea are more appealing to attacking players than they have been in the past, however, with Maurizio Sarri bringing an attractive brand of football to Stamford Bridge.

It looks set to be a transfer saga that could rumble on as the months pass, but Liverpool will feel they have a good chance of acquiring Pulisic’s services.

His current contract at Dortmund expires in the summer of 2020, so they will want to earn a big fee for him next year.
