Chelsea: Pulisic will move to Liverpool over Blues says Nicol
Odds on the Reds to secure the playmaker’s signature have been cut in the past few days as the 20-year-old struggles to make his mark at Borussia Dortmund.
Pulisic has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in world football in the last few seasons after showing his attacking aptitude in the Bundesliga.
The silky playmaker has bagged 12 goals and 16 assists in the last three and a half seasons, but is currently struggling to make the German club’s starting line-up.
Dortmund sit atop the Bundesliga by six points, with Lucien Favre’s vibrant young side blitzing the league.
Teenage sensation Jadon Sancho has usurped Pulisic in the team, racking up impressive numbers from the right-wing.
Sancho has played 1,025 minutes in the league this term, while Pulisic has managed just 483.
The Pennsylvania-born ace is not short of talent, however, and a legion of big clubs are courting the out-of-favour forward.
Chelsea have been leading the way for his signature, but Liverpool have seen the odds on them sealing a lucrative deal cut in recent days.
As the January transfer window approaches, the Reds have gone from 14/1 to now 6/1 with Paddy Power.

Pulisic has not exactly tried to extinguish rumours around his future, stirring speculation back in November.
“England, the Premier League, is a league where lots of kids dream of playing so there is no reason why maybe one day I won’t play here,” he said.
When asked about links to Liverpool, he responded: “Not much reaction for me. As you can see, we are having a great year at Dortmund and I am enjoying every moment of that.
“Then when the time comes for me to talk in the breaks about my future, then that is when those things happen. Reading these articles, I tend to stay away from that stuff. I know it is going to be there but it is not my priority.”
Pulisic scored twice against Jurgen Klopp’s side in a pre-season friendly, and described him as a “fantastic, skilled boy”.
