Christian Pulisic addresses future amid Liverpool links
Christian Pulisic is fully focused on returning to domestic football with Chelsea but admits 'anything can happen' amid rife transfer speculation.
American star Pulisic has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in January, with Liverpool one of several sides across Europe reportedly keen on a loan deal . While club sources have dismissed the speculation - gossip columns have suggested the Reds could face competition from the likes of Newcastle United in the Premier League , as well as several top teams from across the continent.
Chelsea are said to be unsure as to how to deal with Pulisic's situation, with the 24-year-old unable to maintain a consistent place in Graham Potter's team. He has started just four games since the former Brighton boss took over at the start of September, and with the London club eager to strengthen upfront, those minutes are unlikely to rise significantly.

That uncertainty around playing time has been at the centre of speculation, and Pulisic has admitted that 'anything can happen' regarding his future but added that at this moment, he is aiming to return fit-and-firing for the Blues.
"I mean, right now I’m absolutely back at Chelsea and focused and ready to finish the season," Pulisic told the Indirect Podcast. "But you know how things work in football. Things change quickly and anything can happen. At the moment I am just pushing myself in training and working at Chelsea because that’s where I am right now."

Youssoufa Moukoko's agent 'confirms' contract status
Youssoufa Moukoko is not close to signing a new contract at Borussia Dortmund, the player's agent has confirmed.
The 18-year-old has been linked with a move to Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea in recent months as he continues to impress at the Signal Iduna Park. After scoring six goals and notching four assists in the Bundesliga this term, Moukoko was called up to Hansi Flick's Germany squad for this winter's World Cup in Qatar.
However, with just six months remaining on his current deal in Germany, the forward's agent, Patrick Williams, confirmed that he is not close to agreeing on an extension at Dortmund, which is likely to leave a whole host of European club's on red-hot alert ahead of the January transfer window.
"I can confirm that we are not about to conclude a contract extension with Borussia Dortmund," Williams told Sky Germany.
"I can also assure you that the numbers that are circulating are simply not correct and Youssoufa was never offered that much. But we are still in contact with Dortmund and will see what the next few days bring."
