CHRISTIAN PULISIC would be ‘ideal’ for Liverpool if he ends his time at Chelsea.
That’s the view of Premier League legend Brad Friedel.
His fellow American has struggled for game time under new boss Thomas Tuchel and former Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers keeper Friedel thinks he would excel at Anfield.
Friedel told CardsChat: “I think Liverpool’s system is a good one for Christian, without a doubt.
“He’s very quick, his first steps are quick and even when he gets going, he’s very quick.
“The pressing style that Jurgen Klopp likes to play under, then the quick counter-attack and the runs through the lines, I think he would be able to perform very well in that system.
“I have no idea if that’s a player that [Liverpool] are looking at, but that type of system would be ideal for someone like Christian.”
Pulisic has been used sparingly by Tuchel, despite playing for him at Borussia Dortmund, since his Chelsea appointment but the USA star is reportedly determined to fight for his place.
The 22-year-old has only started two games for Chelsea since Tuchel took charge in January.

But Tuchel recently claimed he had been unfair with Pulisic after not giving him enough time on the pitch.
Tuchel said: “I can say nothing else but good things about him.
“Maybe his biggest problem is that I know him from Dortmund and I think he started only in the cup games.
“It is my responsibility and it is a bit unfair but I know what impact he can have in the last 20 or 30 minutes.”
