Christian Pulisic is one of the best young attacking players in Europe, and there is no surprise that Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are reportedly interested in the Borussia Dortmund star.

The 19-year-old is a versatile footballer who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, and the teenager has already made over 20 appearances for the USA national football team.

According to The Telegraph, Tottenham are interested in Pulisic, while Bild has claimed of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s interest in the American teenager.

Klopp has expressed his admiration of Pulisic, although the former Borussia Dortmund manager has suggested that he will not make a move for the youngster in the summer transfer window.

Klopp told The Liverpool Echo when asked about the chances of the USA international joining Liverpool: “He has a contract at Dortmund, no? That’s the first problem.

“I like Christian, I’ve known him since he was a kid. He’s still not really old, he’s a fantastic player, and it’s deserved people think highly of him in America. In Germany it’s the same.

“If he wants to play in England or whatever one day then for sure he has the chance to do so but he’s at a really good club for his development at this moment. It’s really good to be at a club where they know him already.”

Too soon for Tottenham Hotspur or Liverpool?

Pulisic is a rising star of world football, and there is no doubt that in the next few years, the USA international attacker will establish himself as one of the best players on the planet.

The 19-year-old, though, is still quite raw for Liverpool or Tottenham for he time being, especially with the two Premier League clubs having a number of quality attacking players.

Perhaps after another two years at Dortmund, the youngster could think of switching to the Premier League.
