Liverpool may have been linked with Christian Pulisic only this week, but the Anfield outfit were told to sign the attacker before he had moved to Chelsea.
The Daily Mail reported this week that Liverpool are among the clubs interested in signing Pulisic from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer of 2021.
The 22-year-old, who can also operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, is struggling for playing time under Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
According to WhoScored, the USA international has made nine starts and nine substitute appearances in the Premier League and has made two starts and two substitute appearances in the Champions League for Chelsea so far this season.
It remains to be seen whether or not Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is able to bring the youngster to Anfield this summer, but he is not the only Anfield-related figure who is a fan of the American.
Former Liverpool star John Aldridge urged the Reds to sign Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund back in 2018.
Aldridge wrote in The Liverpool Echo in November 2018: “Christian Pulisic would be a fantastic signing for Liverpool. I know Borussia Dortmund have said he’s not for sale in January but next summer he will only have a year left on his contract.
“I watched him score two goals against us for Dortmund in that pre-season friendly in America and he really impressed me. He’s a player Klopp knows all about and he has tried to take him to Liverpool previously.
“Pulisic has got pace and he would certainly fit our style. With the way he picks the ball up and goes past players, he’s a Coutinho-type.”
Pulisic joined Chelsea from Dortmund in January 2019 and stayed on loan at the German club for the remainder of the 2018-19 campaign before joining up at the Blues in the summer of 2019.
