#2 More on Pulisic

The American is in demand

So, everyone and their grandmothers are after the signature of Christian Pulisic. The Dortmund star is an incredible talent but nowhere has it been suggested that the German outfit has opened a shop with a head-sign which reads, ‘Pulisic for sale.’

And that is precisely what Dortmund’s Sporting director Michael Zorc has claimed. Well, not exactly ‘precisely’, but it is somewhere along the lines of ‘you guys can back off for now, but come back in the summer to see if our minds have changed.’

Here is what he actually said about Pulisic being linked to Chelsea and Tottenham and Liverpool and basically every other club in Europe: "We have known these rumours for many years. We plan at least until the end of the season with him. Pulisic will not leave BVB in winter."

Not good news for the folks at Chelsea and Tottenham…
