Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic is reportedly admired by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

According to the Daily Mail, the 23-year-old Blues player is someone that Klopp likes.

It is understood that Chelsea’s current high valuation on Pulisic means it’s unlikely he’ll get a big move to Liverpool, though.

The £150,000-a-week winger has finished another mixed season at Stamford Bridge, scoring eight goals and making five assists in 38 games across all competitions.

Despite flashes of brilliance, he was unable to consistently find his very best form in Thomas Tuchel’s line-up.

Pulisic admired by Klopp

Liverpool’s excellent transfer business in the last few years must be acknowledged, so Pulisic should take it as a real compliment to be on Klopp’s radar.

The United States international has shown in the past during his Chelsea career what impact he can make on the top level. In fact, he’s scored twice against Liverpool so far in his career.

However, the speedster is guilty of wasting goalscoring chances and ghosting through some games.

It’s been reported this month Pulisic is one of several Chelsea players that would be open to leaving west London if a suitable transfer bid was made for them. However, it’s unclear on how much the Blues would want to offload a player that cost £58million in 2019.

He would suit Reds

It’s quite painful to admit but you could easily see Pulisic shine on Merseyside.

Liverpool have a system that really benefits there wide players and Klopp has a knack of turning his forward players into superstars.

Hopefully, there’s still time for Pulisic to turn things around in west London.

He’s shown his individual ability
