The Borussia Dortmund and United States youngster has been compared to former Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho.

Liverpool fans are very much loving life right now, with their team boasting arguably one of the best forward lines in the world.

In Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, the Reds have an attacking trio of the highest level.

But this does not mean that Jurgen Klopp can rest on his laurels, as there is always scope to strengthen a team even more.

According to the Mirror, Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic has been linked with the Premier League giants for a while now and speculation has gathered pace in recent weeks.

Michael Zorc, the Bundesliga club’s sporting director, has gone on record to state that Pulisic will not be given the green light to leave until at least the end of the season.

However, Jacob Bruun Larsen and Jadon Sancho have displaced Pulisic on the Dortmund flanks, leaving the 20-year-old without guaranteed first-team football.

And with Pulisic’s contract expiring in 2020, Liverpool legend John Aldridge has urged the club to keep the American in their plans.

In his latest Liverpool Echo column, the 60-year-old compared Pulisic to Philippe Coutinho, who left Anfield for Barcelona earlier this year.

“Christian Pulisic would be a fantastic signing for Liverpool,” wrote Aldridge.

“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.”
