In one of the more surprising transfer rumours of the festive season, Borussia Dortmund are allegedly willing to let American international Christian Pulisic leave in a bid to tempt Chelsea to part with their highly-rated youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Pulisic is a player not short of admirers with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reportedly keen on bringing him to Anfield and knows all about him from his time in the Bundesliga.
Such a move 12 months ago would have been unthinkable but Pulisic is no longer the first pick on the Dortmund teamsheet and he has made it known he'd be open to a potential love to guarantee regular first team football.
Metro reports that talks have already begun between the two clubs with Dortmund desperate to land 18-year-old winger Hudson-Odoi who is frustrated by the lack of first-team opportunities under Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea. The former Napoli boss has given the player just two starts and Hudson-Odoi has noted the success of fellow Chelsea loanee Reiss Nelson and former Manchester City and England starlet Jadon Sancho in the German top flight.
News of Pulisic's availability could alert the likes of Bayern Munich and Liverpool as both clubs have been linked with a move for him in the past. Hudson-Odoi is also wanted by Bayern who face the prospect of losing two of their star players Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben in the summer and are on the lookout for potential replacements.
Chelsea would be reluctant to see another exciting young player go but the opportunity to bring in such a proven talent as Pulisic may be too tempting to resist.
