Christian Pulisic showed last night why Jurgen Klopp is reportedly keen to bring him to Liverpool.

Christian Pulisic’s performance for the USA against England last night showed why he is the final piece of the jigsaw for Liverpool’s squad.

The Borussia Dortmund star was his country’s best performer in a 3-0 loss to the Three Lions at Wembley on Thursday evening.

The 20-year-old playmaker is still viewed as one of the German side’s brightest prospects, despite only starting four league games this season in their rise to the top of the table.

Pulisic, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool according to the Mirror, has that rare trait of showing outstanding potential, whilst also being ready to star for a top team looking to win the Premier League.

Despite his age, he has already made 107 appearances for the German side in all competitions.

However, the emergence of England’s own wonderkid Jadon Sancho, has seen the American fall down the pecking order at the Bundesliga side, opening the door for Liverpool to make their move.

Klopp has a wealth of attacking options at his disposal at Anfield, however, the profile of Pulisic means he would be an outstanding addition.

Liverpool’s front three of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah are one of the best trio’s in world football, but are yet to hit the heights of last season.

They have only scored 19 goals between them so far this season, and likely won’t hit the heights they did during the previous campaign.

Klopp employs an extremely fast paced, and dynamic strategy at Anfield.

Salah and Mane are outstanding wingers, however don’t have much creativity or ball retention ability, meaning attacks can often break down, and result in a lack of control of the ball for Liverpool.

Salah averages being dispossessed 2.9 times a game in the Premier League.

Pulisic on the other hand is an extremely creative force, with his vision, ball manipulation, and comfort in possession allowing his side to build and sustain attacks in a more composed manner.

The USA international has the ability to find gaps in a defence that perhaps Mane and Salah don’t, and if Liverpool push ahead with the transfer, Klopp will have a front four worthy of winning any title.
