Liverpool have had no issue when it comes to scoring goals this season with 35 netted in 12 Premier League games and 15 scored in five Champions League encounters.

It has recently been reported by El Nacional that Liverpool and Spanish club Barcelona are interested in signing Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic, who is currently earning a weekly wage of £150k-per-week according to Spotrac.

After spending the rest of that season on loan with the Bundesliga side, Pulisic made his debut for the west London club in August 2019 during their 4-0 defeat against Manchester United in the Premier League.

Overall, the 23-year-old, who is currently valued at £45m according to Transfermarkt, has made 83 appearances for Thomas Tuchel’s side across all competitions, scoring 19 goals and providing 14 assists in the process.

With his attacking prowess in front of goal, it’s easy to see why Liverpool are reportedly interested in adding Pulisic, who has been described as a “great competitor” by Tuchel, to their squad as an extra goalscoring option from the wing.
