According to reports, Arsenal and Real Madrid are now vying with the Reds and Spurs to sign the 19-year-old American.

Pulisic is enjoying a fine opening to the season for Dortmund and has started seven games for new manager Peter Bosz.

He has helped fire the German side three points clear of Bayern Munich following five wins from six games.

Pulisic started the season with a bang after providing a goal and an assist in their opening-day win at Wolfsburg.
