TKT Opinion

Liverpool pursuing a wide forward who putting up promising numbers in Italy after an underwhelming stint with Chelsea? We have heard this song before.

Given their recent links with the likes of Rayan Cherki and Brahim Diaz, it is clear Liverpool are pursuit a forward/attacking midfielder who can play centrally and out wide. Pulisic, given his age and experience, would be a signing expected to slot into the starting XI right away and start delivering the goods from the word go.

Liverpool’s track record, as hinted above with the Mo Salah analogy, warrants them the benefit of the doubt. If a bargain agreement can be reached to lure Pulisic back to the Premier League, they should go for it.
