Former Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Friedel is backing a move for Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic.

Friedel has told his compatriot to consider a move to Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp looking to bolster his front line options.

Friedel believes Pulisic would be "ideal" for Jurgen Klopp's pressing game.

"I think Liverpool's system is a good one for Christian, without a doubt," the former United States international told CardsChat.

"He's very quick, his first steps are quick and even when he gets going, he's very quick.

"The pressing style that Jurgen Klopp likes to play under, then the quick counter-attack and the runs through the lines, I think he would be able to perform very well in that system."

Friedel added: "Pulisic has the potential to be the most successful American player in mainland Europe but it is still relatively early days with a new head coach at Chelsea who I hope he can do well under.

"At the beginning of the season, he was unplayable at times and doing really, really well. Let's just see how it goes for the US.

"He is our best attacking player, and we've got a few of them. We need him to stay injury free, that's for sure.

"I have no idea if that's a player that they (Liverpool) are looking at, but that type of system would be ideal for someone like Christian."
