Christian Pulisic is a player that will need no introduction for Liverpool fans. The Reds famously had a bid knocked back by Dortmund for the player during Klopp's first summer at the club, and with the manager still a keen admirer of the American winger, talk of a move this summer shouldn't seem all that wide of the mark.
Though Pulisic doesn't present the same versatility as Fekir, who could operate either as a part of the front three or in a deeper role in central midfield, his talent and potential is not in doubt. Quick, good on the ball and adept in the no. 10 role he's been given in recent times, Pulisic wouldn't be a like-for-like replacement for Coutinho but, given time, there's little doubt he could be.
Raphael Honigstein speculated earlier this year that Liverpool would return for the player, and though Dortmund are unlikely to part with him easily, it's easy to see the sense in a move to Liverpool, with the club's American ownership likely to see value in having the United States' hottest upcoming talent wearing a Liverpool shirt.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
