Despite his tender age, Pulisic has been involved in 12 goals during his 42 league and cup appearances this season and has already clocked up 97 senior appearances for the Bundesliga side. Scoring five, he also set up seven strikes.

Spurs could be in the market for another attacking option despite luring Lucas Moura to north London in January. Moussa Sissoko has been below par, while Georges N’Koudou and Josh Onomah remain out on loan.

Pulisic admitted to magazine FourFourTwo back in 2017 that he actually trained with Spurs before completing a move to Dortmund in 2015 as well as Southampton. But for Spurs to have him back, Daniel Levy must pay through the nose.

The attacker has three years left on his contract but his burgeoning reputation and overflowing potential could convince Spurs to land one of the most exciting youngsters on the planet.
