A move to the Premier League could be on the horizon for Borussia Dortmund star Christian Pulisic, who has reportedly caught the attention of Chelsea.

Though he's been linked to clubs such as Liverpool and Tottenham, the Blues are apparently the most eager to sign the 20-year-old, according to the Guardian's Ed Aarons.

Pulisic remains committed to Dortmund and the club's attempt to end its six-year trophy drought in the Bundesliga, but says he'd consider a switch.

"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 ahead of Thursday's international friendly against England at Wembley Stadium. "As you can see, we are having a great year at Dortmund and I am enjoying every moment of that. Then when the time comes for me to talk in the breaks about my future, then that’s when those things happen.

"Like I said before, 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."

The American has carved out a solid career in Germany since making his Bundesliga debut in 2016, which has led to speculation over a possible move to England's top flight.

Pulisic impressed during his first two seasons at Dortmund but has struggled for playing time this term, managing just four starts as manager Lucien Favre has elected to give emerging star Jadon Sancho an increased role.
