Pulisic deal unlikely: Landing these 2 alternatives would end Liverpool’s summer with a bang

According to the Mirror, Liverpool have been handed a setback in their eventual goal to land Christian Pulisic, with Chelsea now reportedly in the race to sign the Bundesliga starlet. Jurgen Klopp is apparently a big fan of him, and the club are long-term admirers, but it is now Chelsea who look primed to move for him.

Pulisic has impressed over the last few years as one of the most talented young players in Europe, displaying incredible technical ability and dribbling alongside tremendous potential.

He’d certainly be right at home at Liverpool, amidst a collection of incredible attackers, but alas, a move looks unlikely at this point.

However, that doesn’t mean that Liverpool’s window should end poorly. In fact, they could actually benefit from missing out on the American – as there are many other options that could be just ass useful to Jurgen Klopp.

With that said, landing these 2 alternatives would end Liverpool’s summer with a bang…

Wilfried Zaha has been one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League over the last few years.

The Crystal Palace man was crucial for the Eagles last season as they avoided the drop in the Premier League, and he’ll no doubt be crucial again next term – if he stays.

Liverpool would be wise to target him if they’re looking for a young player with proven experience, with Zaha proving his worth in the English top flight over a number of years.

Strong and agile, the attacker has bags of talent, and at 25-years-old, he’s still getting better.

Leon Bailey is another player that the club could target.

He’s five years younger than Zaha, but that doesn’t show in his ability. The Jamaican attacker is, without a doubt, one of Europe’s most exciting attacking players.

His deadly pace is just one of his fantastic attributes. He also brings tremendous quality and technical ability, not to mention goalscoring. Bailey bagged 9 goals last season, alongside 6 assists.

He’s unproven in England, granted, but the Reds would struggle to find a better with a higher ceiling than Bailey. The 20-year-old is fantastic.
