“England, the Premier League, is a league where lots of kids dream of playing, so there is no reason why maybe one day I won’t play here,” Pulisic said. “Reading these articles [about me], I tend to stay away from that stuff. I know it is going to be there but it is not my priority.”
Meanwhile, ESPN reports that Liverpool are also front runners in the bids to land the 20-year-old, and Tottenham are keen too.
