Christian Pulisic: Last News

Liverpool scouted 15 players before making the decision to sign Jurgen Klopp's fourth choice Mohamed Salah in the summer transfer window of 2017.There were a lot of doubts over Salah's signing before he made the £36.9million switch to Anfield from Roma - their club-record transfer signing at the time. The Egypt international's previous spell at Chelsea in 2014 didn't quite scream success, and many questioned why Liverpool would fork out for him.The Reds tried to secure his signing back in 2013 before he decided to move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic could jump ship to Liverpool this summer with manager Jurgen Klopp keen on pinching the disgruntled American and bringing him to Merseyside.With Sadio Mane set to join Bayern Munich, and Mo Salah's long-term future anything but secure, Liverpool are in the market for a speedy wide-man who could slot into their notoriously high-octane front three.Chelsea have little reason to sell, particularly to a direct rival, but Pulisic has struggled for form and regular first-team football under Thomas Tuchel and would more than likely be open to the move if Liverpool pushed hard enough for it.Pulisic and Klopp have something of a history too.

Chelsea defenders still want to play for the club by giving a masterclass against Leicester.And he also showed he isn't just England's best right back after bossing much of the second half of Thursday night's 1-1 draw in midfield. With Antonio Rudiger playing his last game at Stamford Bridge and FA Cup Final no-show Andreas Christensen nowhere to be seen, James took centre stage.And after James Madison's early opener for Leicester, he conjured an equaliser for Marcos Alonso with a lovely piece of skill. James is already Gareth Southgate's first choice on the right of the England defence, despite some fierce competition.But the 22-year-old is so talented, and was so good in this game, he ended up playing in the heart of the engine room.

Chelsea fans were absolutely flabbergasted by Christian Pulisic after the American produced one of the misses of the season against Leicester City on Thursday night.In an almost a carbon-copy of his performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup final on Saturday, the 23-year-old looked lively but couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo to continue his miserable week in front of goal on what was his 50th start for the club.After creating a pocket of space in the box, Romelu Lukaku received the ball from Reece James before cutting it across goal for Pulisic who, after skipping away from his marker, seemed to have a simple tap-in from six-yards.But the winger took his eye off the ball at the vital moment and failed to get a clean connection, slicing the shot well wide of the post as a very relieved Kasper Schmeichel counted his lucky stars.The disbelief on the faces of both Pulisic and Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel painted one heck of an emotive picture, and their reactions were more than echoed on social media."Miss of the season contender by Pulisic," one supporter tweeted."That Pulisic miss doesn't surprise me.

Chelsea should ditch Timo Werner and sign Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez this summer, according to Tony Cascarino. The Blues are to end the season trophyless following defeat on penalties by Liverpool in the FA Cup final on Saturday. The loss was their second against Jurgen Klopp ’s side on penalties in major finals this season after defeat in the Carabao Cup final back in February.

Thomas Tuchel watched on as Chelsea moved a step closer to securing a top-four finish to qualify for next season’s Champions League with a 3-0 win over Leeds United at Elland Road.Mason Mount put the visitors in front after just four minutes with an incisive finish as the Blues dominated the early chances. And their task became somewhat more straightforward when Daniel James was dismissed for an ugly challenge on Mateo Kovacic, with Christian Pulisic stroking home in the second half to clinch the win after a flowing team move.Romelu Lukaku rounded off a comfortable victory with a close-range finish to seal the points and put the Blues eight points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham with three games left to play.

Arsenal legend David Seaman believes ‘stutter’ penalty takers look like ‘k***heads’ when they miss their spot-kicks in the same way Chelsea midfielder Jorginho did.The Italian midfielder has entrenched himself as a penalty taking specialist, with 17 of his 19 Premier League goals with the west Londoners have come from 12 yards. However, the Italian’s unique ‘hop, skip, and jump’ technique was made to look rather foolish by West Ham shot-stopper Lukasz Fabianzki, whose decision to stand his ground instead of guessing saw him gather the ball like it was a back pass.

Chelsea midfielder fluffed a late penalty in Sunday's 1-0 win over West Ham. The Blues were given a golden chance to pinch the points in a massively underwhelming derby clash when Romelu Lukaku was hauled down in the penalty area in the final five minutes. But Jorginho got his late spot-kick all wrong - sending a soft effort straight at Lukas Fabianski.Fortunately, Christian Pulisic spared Jorginho's blushes just a few minutes later, when he bagged a late, late winner for the hosts.

Chelsea fans dubbed Jorginho's comically bad penalty against West Ham as the "worst ever" and a "sackable offence."The London derby between the two sides looked to be heading for a 0-0 draw until Craig Dawson fouled Romelu Lukaku with a few minutes remaining. Referee Michael Oliver had no hesitation in pointing to the spot and gave Dawson his marching orders. Jorginho, usually ever-reliable from 12 yards, stepped up to take the penalty but got it all wrong as his powderpuff effort rolled into the grateful arms of Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

World Cup, despite that not actually being the case.Chelsea star Christian Pulisic scored a hat-trick in a thumping 5-1 win over Panama in Orlando, Florida to put the US on the brink of earning a place in Qatar in November. While that is almost certain, there is still the possibility that the US will be left with egg on their face.Gregg Berhalter’s side have one qualifying match left against Costa Rica and defeat by six goals or more on Thursday would deny them automatic qualification and send them into a play-off.

Chelsea reportedly believe they will be able to play their Champions League quarter-final ties against Real Madrid with fans present for both the home and away legs.Blues owner Roman Abramovich has been hit with heavy sanctions by the UK government which has seen the club banned from selling home and away tickets for matches. It comes following the Russian oligarch having his assets frozen due to his alleged ties with President Vladimir Putin.Chelsea were therefore expected to have to play both of their games against Spanish giants Real Madrid without being able to sell tickets.

Manchester United and Tottenham out of the competition, but the writing was on the wall after Lukaku tapped Mason Mount’s perfect cross in from close range to open the scoring. Thomas Tuchel and Wilder’s sides began the match with furious intensity, taking turns at pressing one another and driving into their respective halves.

Thomas Tuchel has insisted he'll "drive a seven-seater" if that's what it takes to ensure Chelsea fulfil their Champions League fixture with Lille on Wednesday night.The Blues were slapped with a number of restrictions this week following the UK Government's decision to sanction club owner Roman Abramovich and freeze his assets.Among the limitations, the European champions have been prohibited from spending any more than £20,000 on travel to any away fixture.Some Chelsea fans joked in the week that the club's squad may have to take the Megabus to France to fulfil their Champions League clash with Lille, but Tuchel has himself pitched an alternative means of transport.Following the Blues 1-0 success over Newcastle on Sunday, the German addressed the uncertainty surrounding travel arrangements and quipped that he would "drive a seven-seater" himself in order to ensure Chelsea played the second leg."My last information is we have a plane and we can go by plane and come back by plane," Tuchel declared."If not we go by train, if not by bus, if not I will drive a seven-seater.Will Chelsea make it through to the Champions League quarter-finals this week? Give us your thoughts in the comments section"If you asked me 30 years ago if I could join a Champions League match at the sideline, I'd say when do I need to be there and how do I need to be there."The Blues hold a 2-0 advantage heading into the second leg with Lille, courtesy of strikes from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic at Stamford Bridge, three weeks' ago.Despite uncertainty surrounding his future, Tuchel was clearly in a jovial mood after Havertz hit a superb late winner against the Magpies on Sunday.Discussing said future, the Chelsea manager confirmed he would stay

Chelsea's last signing of the Roman Abramovich era wasn't even born when the Russian bought the club in 2003.From Fernando Torres to Christian Pulisic and Demba Ba to Steve Sidwell - the Blues have shelled out over £2billion on countless new players since the oligarch purchased the club from Ken Bates 19 years ago. But following news last week that Abramovich is looking to sell his beloved Blues, it appears the final signing of the Roman Empire has already walked through the doors of Stamford Bridge.If, as is looking likely, the Russian billionaire does offload the west Londoners in the next few months, 18-year-old Mason Burstow will go down as his final ever acquisition as Chelsea owner.

Manchester United might have to contend with an unhappy Marcus Rashford this summer, who is looking to leave.The England international is said to be considering his options ahead of the transfer window and has grown concerned with life under Ralf Rangnick.Though the German coach will leave his interim role as manager at Old Trafford at the end of the season, the Guardian report that Rashford has fallen down the pecking order.Anthony Elanga is now a preferred option to the 24-year-old, while Jadon Sancho now comfortably owns a spot in the starting XI.But where could Rashford end up in the summer if he does leave United?Perhaps the most favourable destination for Rashford would be Arsenal, a club that appear to be on the up under Mikel Arteta and are desperate for a striker.The Gunners have been in fine form in recent weeks and are the most likely to finish in the top four from the rest of the teams below Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.Arteta has made signing a forward a priority in the summer, though Rashford is seen more of a winger these days, but Arsenal’s fluid frontline would be suitable for a player that likes to drift in from out wide.There is plenty of speculation that there could be some changes to Chelsea’s attack this summer with Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku all linked with moves away.The Blues are blessed with plenty of striking options but could see Rashford as an ideal replacement for anyone that is thinking of leaving Stamford Bridge.However, whether Thomas Tuchel can promise the United ace the game-time he would demand is another matter with the German fond of rotating his options.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant

Thomas Tuchel has hit out at Chelsea's fans for their 'lack of respect' after they chanted Roman Abramovich's name during a show of support for Ukraine at Turf Moor on Saturday.Reece James, Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic were all on the scoresheet as four second-half strikes saw the Blues run riot against Sean Dyche's side in a game marred by the pre-match scenes.Prior to kick-off, Burnley held a minutes applause as a show of solidarity with Ukraine in response to Russia's recent invasion of the country.However, the Clarets' tribute was spoiled as a section of Chelsea's travelling faithful opted to show their appreciation for the club's owner Abramovich, who this week declared his intentions to sell the club.In the aftermath of his side's Turf Moor triumph, Tuchel subsequently slammed some of his own supporters for their involvement in the chant."It's not the moment to do this," the German declared. "Listen, if we show solidarity we show solidarity and we should do it together."We take the knee together and if an important person from our club or another club unfortunately dies, we show a minute of respect."It's not the moment to give other messages.

Chelsea strengthen their grip on third spot as they cruised to a 4-0 win over Burnley. Despite the final result, the Blues were fortunate to go in level at the break after Dwight McNeill blazed over from six-yards following a gaffe from Edouard Mendy.But whatever Thomas Tuchel said to his side at half-time clearly did the trick, as the Blues burst into life.Reece James drilled a venomous strike through a sea of Claret shirts to nudge Chelsea into the lead just two minutes after the break.

Liverpool came out on top in a dramatic penalty shootout to edge past Chelsea at Wembley to clinch Carabao Cup glory.Both sides were indebted to their goalkeepers in an action-packed first half, with Caoimhin Kelleher thwarting Christian Pulisic early on before Edouard Mendy pulled off a spectacular double-save to keep Chelsea on level terms.Mohamed Salah spurned a golden chance after the break before Joel Matip saw a header chalked off by VAR.Kai Havertz had two goals ruled out for offside along with Lukaku, who was denied once, before the lottery of penalties ensued.In a dramatic shootout, it was Kepa Arrizabalaga who missed the decisive penalty after all 20 outfield players succeeded from the spot to hand Jurgen Klopp his first League Cup.Daily Star Sport highlights six things you might have missed from an enthralling finale at Wembley...The Reds arrived at Wembley on the verge of creating history - and they got the job done to clinch a record-breaking ninth League Cup triumph.They made hard work of it though.Chelsea had numerous chances to snatch the initiative before the game went to spot-kicks.And Kepa's late miss ensured the Reds etched their name into the history books at Wembley in the most dramatic of fashions.Do you think Liverpool deserved to lift the Carabao Cup?

Chelsea have taken a big step towards the next round of the Champions League after they beat Lille 2-0 in the first leg of their knockout tie.It took Kai Havertz just eight minutes to open the scoring after he headed home from Hakim Ziyech's corner to put Chelsea ahead, and Lille were fortunate to go into the break just a goal down.Injuries dominated the early stages of the second half as Mateo Kovacic and Ziyech limped off down the tunnel, but Christian Pulisic alleviated the pressure by adding a second after 63 minutes to give the home side some breathing space.It was a comfortable night for Chelsea, and it could have been a more convincing win if their flow wasn't disrupted early in the second half, but Thomas Tuchel will feel confident heading to Lille with a two-goal advantage against the French Champions.As Chelsea take control of their Champions League knockout tie, here Daily Star Sport takes a look at what Tuchel got right at Stamford Bridge...It was a huge decision by Thomas Tuchel to leave Romelu Lukaku out of the starting line-up against Lille, but it paid off as Chelsea looked fluid in attack in the absence of their summer signing.It was a game to forget on Saturday for Lukaku, who touched the ball just seven times against Crystal Palace, and Tuchel pulled him out of the line-up after vowing to 'protect him' following the backlash from the fans.Although on his day he is their best centre-forward, it provided a lift for the whole team, who seemed to play with more freedom.It appeared to catch Lille off guard too, as centre-back pairing Jose Fonte and Sven Botman were likely preparing to face Lukaku all week, but took time to adjust to the agility of Chelsea's font-three.In the absence of Lukaku from the

Chelsea's trip to take on Crystal Palace on Saturday was their first Premier League game for 27 days since beating Tottenham - and Thomas Tuchel was left with mixed emotions.The Blues, on the back of their Club World Cup triumph, struggled for long periods as Patrick Vieira's men held firm while creating chances of their own.Although the away side did steal all three points thanks to Hakim Ziyech, there wasn't an awful lot to be positive about for their manager.Daily Star Sport have taken a look at three things Tuchel got wrong on the day and one he got right, one of which involves a player who touched the ball only twice during the opening 45 minutes.

emerging from the MLS, rather than simply retiring there - as the likes of Alphonso Davies, Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie have proven.Its reputation as a 'retirement division' is rapidly diminishing, but it'll be tough to completely shake given how many of football's most talented individuals have hung up their boots following stateside stints in recent years.Here, Daily Star Sport has taken a look back at 10 of the very best.After pretty much winning everything available to him with Arsenal and Barcelona, Thierry Henry signed for the New York Red Bulls in 2010.Although very much into his twilight years at that point, the Frenchman had no trouble for scoring for fun, just as he'd done in the Premier League for so many years.For four seasons in a row, Henry's MLS goal tally reached double figures before he eventually called it a day in 2014.Is the MLS a glorified retirement home for elite footballers? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...The pitiful season he spent with Manchester United aside, English fans shouldn't forget how fabulous a player Bastian Schweinsteiger was at his best.The man dubbed 'the brain' of Germany's midfield by Joachim Low, Schweinsteiger was an integral part of his nation's famous World Cup triumph in 2014, and won a whopping eight Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich.He joined Chicago Fire in 2017 after being effectively booted out of Old Trafford by Jose Mourinho, and spent two years in America before hanging up his boots in 2019.Orlando City supporters must have had to scratch their eyes when 2007 Ballon d'Or winner Kaka joined their ranks in 2015.The the former AC Milan midfielder was - for a time - the most in-demand footballer on the planet, and his move to Real
