Borussia Dortmund want Christian Pulisic to sign new deal
Pulisic, 18, has enjoyed a run of 12 games in Thomas Tuchel's first-team this season due to a number of injuries to Dortmund's senior players.

The Mirror claim former Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp remains interested in the USA international when the window reopens in January.
Klopp is reportedly keen to improve his attack following Danny Ings' season-ending knee injury and with Sadio Mane set to miss a month due to the Africa Cup of Nations.
But Zorc insists the Bundesliga club have no interest in selling their hot prospect and fully intend to extend his contract to fend off interest.

"There have been some offers for him in the summer window from England and from German clubs, but we would like to have him here and develop him here," Zorc said.
"We didn't educate him to sell him. We have a long-running contract until 2019, but because of his development the club is ready to speak to him to prolong his contract at any time."
