The Sun, The Express and several other outlets report that Arsenal and Real Madrid have joined Liverpool and Tottenham in their pursuit of talented Borussia Dortmund teenager Christian Pulisic.
The 19 year-old American teenager has enjoyed a strong start to the season, and has helped propel Dortmund, under new manager Peter Bosz, to the top of the Bundesliga, providing several goals and assists in the seven games in which he has featured.
Jorgen Klopp is said to be an admirer of the young playmaker, and Liverpool were considering a bid this summer for Pulisic in the event the Philippe Countinho move to Barcelona went through. However, he may now struggle to get his man as he faces stiff competition for his signature from the likes of Arsenal, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.
Pulisic has said he wants to stay at Dortmund, but whether he, or the club, would refuse a big offer remains to be seen.
