With the January transfer window just around the corner Liverpool are being linked with a number of new signings already.

The table-topping Reds are flying under Arne Slot and are keen to ensure they do not slip up in the second half of the season.

Lyons’ Rayan Cherki is being linked with Liverpool, although long-term target Jonathan David could end up signing for Bayern Munich.

However, that’s not say the Reds don’t have further targets and according to reports from Italy, Liverpool are very keen on one of the league’s best players.

Liverpool really keen on signing Christian Pulisic

According to a report from Calciomercato, former Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is on the radar of the Reds.

The American has been a shining light for Milan this season despite the Rossoneri struggling to challenge at the top of the table.

Milan paid around £19m to sign Pulisic from Chelsea and his form is now attracting interest from a number of Premier League sides, including Liverpool.

Manchester United and West Ham are also keen on the winger, with Milan said to value Pulisic at closer to the £60m Chelsea paid initially.

Pulisic one of the best players in Serie A

At 26, there is ample time for Christian Pulisic to show Chelsea fans what they are missing out on and he might well fancy another stab at the Premier League.

Indeed, he’s certainly showing his class this season, with former Everton midfielder Don Hutchison even suggesting he’s one of the best in Italy right now.

“He probably has you know [been one of the best players in the league]. I mean (Marcus) Thuram scored a hat-trick at the weekend (for Inter),” Hutchison told ESPN.

“I would probably say he ( has you know. I think he has done really well. Conte has been ripping it up. Top of the league, so Lukaku is looking good, but I think he (Pulisic) would be in the conversation, top three, for sure.”

Pulisic, then, could well be what Liverpool need, especially if Mo Salah does indeed end up moving on.
