Poster boy of American football, Christian Pulisic plays in an attack-minded midfield role for Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. Either as a winger or in the number ten role, Pulisic continues to progress with experience in Germany and European competition at the highest level too.

He is a fantastic dribbler, regularly wins one-on-one battles on the wing and is equally gifted with both feet too. Currently, the 19-year-old earns £25,000-a-week, which runs until the summer of 2020 just like the aforementioned Rashford. He has featured regularly for Dortmund this term, while current boss Peter Bosz has publicly insisted the fact that Pulisic is key to his plans going forward.

Previously linked to a number of Europe's top clubs, Real Madrid and Liverpool are reportedly the top two options that could make a formal offer for him in future. Dortmund already lost Dembélé to Barcelona for a sum they simply could not refuse, but will be keen to avoid losing another one of their prized assets.
