Liverpool news: Chelsea the WRONG CLUB for Christian Pulisic - big transfer claim
BORUSSIA DORTMUND star Christian Pulisic should join Liverpool instead of Chelsea.
That is the verdict of ESPN FC pundit and former Arsenal striker Paul Mariner.
USA international Pulisic has often been linked with a move to the Premier League.
The winger first joined Dortmund in early 2015 when Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was still manager.
He has gone on to become a regular for the Bundesliga side, though has found game time slightly harder this season due to the emergence of England ace Jadon Sancho.
If you were to ask me for a club he should go to - Liverpool
Mariner does not believe Chelsea is the club that can progress Pulisic’s career.
But he thinks working with Klopp and Liverpool would be a recipe for success.
“No, don’t do it,” Mariner said of Pulisic joining Chelsea.
“It’s the wrong club for him.
"He’s just going to go into a hopper of decent footballers who eventually go out on loan.
“Is he going to get in the team on this present form? No he’s not.
“He’s still developing as a young player.
“If you were to ask me for a club he should go to - Liverpool.
“Klopp understands the Bundesliga, he understands what it takes to mould a player. He knows him very, very well.
“If Pulisic were to go to Liverpool, the nurturing and the way that Klopp puts his arm around players, I think it would be a fabulous move for him.”
Pulisic has scored 15 goals in 107 games for Dortmund in all competitions.
He was part of the USA side that lost 3-0 to England in a friendly last Thursday.
He has nine goals in his 22 caps for his country.
