# Liverpool: Christian Falk backs Reds’ interest in Christian Pulisic

**Reputable journalist Christian Falk has backed [reports](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-christian-pulisic-transfer-chelsea-27131968) of [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/)‘s interest in Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic this summer.**

### The lowdown: Klopp connection

Despite [never playing under Jurgen Klopp,](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/315779) Pulisic has often been indexed to the German, having come through the ranks and being given a [first senior training session](https://www.goal.com/en/news/pulisic-on-klopp-why-dortmund-can-learn-from-liverpool-and/cn1jze7pci1210nyj3sk056ny) by the 54-year-old before representing Borussia Dortmund on [127 occasions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/315779).

Klopp hailed the USA captain as a [‘fantastic skilled boy’](https://www.fotmob.com/news/1hqohju1x36ra14mt143v87bka/klopp-hails-dortmund-star-pulisic-after-liverpool-loss) in 2018, whilst the 23-year-old reciprocated the praise in describing the Reds manager as a [‘great guy’](https://www.goal.com/en/news/pulisic-on-klopp-why-dortmund-can-learn-from-liverpool-and/cn1jze7pci1210nyj3sk056ny) when asked for his opinion on potentially playing under him in the future.

Having initially been [linked](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesSoccer/status/1064463770343362560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064463770343362560&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Fliverpool) with a move to Anfield prior to spending three years at Chelsea which have been truncated by [injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/verletzungen/spieler/315779), Liverpool could be about to reignite their interest in the American…

### The latest: Falk backs Liverpool links with Pulisic

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1533353490231197697), SPORT Bild’s chief football reporter Falk has seemingly confirmed that the Reds are considering a move for the 23-year-old.

He stated: “TRUE @LFC is interested in Christian Pulisic (23) as replacement for Sadio Mané (@FCBayern) @ChelseaFC”

### The verdict: Assurances needed

Despite Pulisic’s talents, any move for the versatile forward would need to firstly see fitness concerns were allayed, as the American has missed an eye-opening [44 matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/verletzungen/spieler/315779) over his three seasons in London.

Recently praised by journalist Kyle Bonagura for a [‘world class’](https://twitter.com/BonaguraESPN/status/1532149071665713152) goal for the USA against Morocco, the [49-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/nationalmannschaft/spieler/315779/verein_id/3505) ace scored [eight times and provided five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/leistungsdaten/spieler/315779) in 38 appearances across all competitions this season.

Equally [adept on either wing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/leistungsdaten/spieler/315779) or as an attacking midfielder, Pulisic – who holds a perceived market value of £40.5m from [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/315779) – would offer a supreme versatility to the Anfield squad that would be a welcome addition to Klopp’s ranks.

Although the American has only made [10 career outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/315779) as a striker, the role in which Sadio Mane [ended the 2021/22 campaign](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdaten/spieler/200512), his age and his ability to adapt to new roles could lend themselves to another noteworthy transformation under Klopp if the 23-year-old swaps west London for Merseyside.
