Christian Pulisic’s father labels transfer rumours “hogwash” amid Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham links
Christian Pulisic’s father has confirmed that the American star is planning on playing for Borussia Dortmund again next season.
Following his second full season with the club, Pulisic has already been linked with several moves to the Premier League by reports in England. The 19-year-old’s father, however, has quashed the rumours while also confirming that they will hold talks with Dortmund this summer about his future.
"He was linked to Tottenham. Last week it was Liverpool. The week before Man United. The week before this… it's hogwash," Pulisic Snr. told Sky Sports.

"He's linked with a different club every week. I have no idea. His agent right now is working and looking, in close relation with me and Christian, and we're just trying to see what the best phase of his next development will be."
Pulisic has made 70 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund since his Bundesliga debut in January 2016.
With 12 goals and 20 assists in all competitions since then, the USMNT winger has become a permanent figure in the black-and-yellow’s starting line-up.
After playing in all-but two games of the 2017/18 Bundesliga season, Pulisic is expected to also play a pivotal role next season under new coach Lucien Favre – a coach Pulisic himself has said is a "great appointment" - with the teenager not planning on going anywhere.
