Currently in his third season in the Bundesliga playing for Borussia Dortmund, it may come as a surprise to many that Christian Pulisic is still in his teens. The flying winger's maturity on the pitch recalls that of Ronaldo and Messi at that stage in their careers, and he has even improved upon their numbers.
He is undoubtedly one of the hottest young prospects around and it is domestic priers Bayern Munich who have threatened most to end his stay at Borussia Dortmund. The club that first saw the potential in a 16-year-old American have had to wave away interest from a horde of suitors including many top European sides.
Jose Mourinho is looking to bring in a young playmaker, and Manchester United are drawing up reports of the youngest ever USA player of the year, as announced last week. With Arsenal and Real Madrid also keeping a close eye on the Dortmund star, it looks like it won't be long before he ends his stint at the Bundesliga outfit.
Liverpool were rebuffed in their bids to sign him last year as Dortmund held out for £35 million, a valuation that, if anything, will have increased since. If Mourinho wants his man, he will be made to pay for it.
