Liverpool fans here in the Tavern are seeking the addition of future talent as the Reds look to uncover their next batch of Kop legends.
Indeed, Jurgen Klopp has been a hero for the Reds over the past couple of seasons, after bringing in the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Virgil Van Dijk. Of course, these are signings that have all played a huge part in the success of the German so far on Merseyside, as they’ve now shaped the path for a possible Champions League triumph this season.
Although, another impressive component of Klopp’s time in Liverpool has been the guidance provided for the youth of today, with Ben Woodburn, Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold all turning into potential stars.
Therefore, the German is now looking back to his home country for aspiring young talent, with the highly-rated Christian Pulisic an attractive target from his former club Borussia Dortmund. Rated at a stunning £405.m by Transfermarkt, the winger is undoubtedly one of the most promising youngsters in the world.
However, Chelsea currently have Michy Batshuayi out on loan at the German club, with the possibility of a permanent move in the summer putting them in pole position for the signing of Pulisic.
Indeed, the USA international has already established himself as one of the most exciting prospects in world football, after stealing the show for both club and country on multiple occasions.
Therefore, here’s TWO reasons as to why Liverpool simply must beat Chelsea to the signing of the attacker…
Potential
Christian Pulisic is still only a 19-year-old with his whole career ahead of him, yet he’s already managed to accumulate over 100 appearances at this stage. Indeed, a statistic that only goes to highlight the pure brilliance and quality that the youngster possesses, to have made a substantial amount of appearances for one of Europe’s biggest sides and one of the world’s most aspiring countries.
Of course, still with plenty of progression to be had from the youngster in years to come, he’s already managed to hit the heights of winning the U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year with his twentieth birthday still seven months away. And, after seeing manager Jurgen Klopp already get the best out of the youth products at Liverpool thus far, the Reds could just uncover a future contender for the world’s best.
Long-awaited trophy
Jurgen Klopp still awaits his first trophy at Anfield, with our local residents beginning to get impatient with the German’s drought thus far. Although, having managed to control Portuguese champions FC Porto in the first-leg of their Champions League tie, dominance may not be too far away for the Reds.
And, the addition of Christian Pulisic may just be the final piece to the puzzle in terms of the long-awaited trophy, as the natural-born quality of the American could see him fill the void left by Philippe Coutinho.
Of course, every successful side needs their gamechanger to help win them trophies, similar to Steven Gerrard’s legacy that brought Liverpool their fifth European Cup. And, with a Liverpool attack that’s already thriving off the challenges thrown at them under Jurgen Klopp, the attacker’s playmaking abilities could see the Reds secure that elusive trophy.
