There’s been a few new signings at Liverpool already this transfer window, most notably Alex Manninger Sadio Mane, who appears to have slotted in nicely to life at his new club after his £34m move from Southampton.
With a matter of days remaining until the window closes, it now appears Jurgen Klopp is trying to tie up a deal to bring in another winger to Anfield, with Tony Barrett reporting that an £11m bid for Christian Pulisic had been tabled by the club.
Liverpool have made an £11m offer for Christian Pulisic, Borussia Dortmund's 17-year-old winger.

The American, still just 17, currently plays for Klopp’s former club, Borussia Dortmund.
As word began to spread of the £11m bid, not everyone was too pleased about it. And what better way to show your disapproval than to tweet the club’s official Twitter account?

Initially, it seemed many Liverpool supporters were underwhelmed by the news.
Pulisic as a potential final signing would ultimately disappoint me. Hope there is more to come! #LFC @LFC

Many were quick to point that other areas were more of a priority, namely central midfield and left back – a position that Klopp started James Milner in in last weekend’s defeat at Burnley.
Pulisic?
Why why why?
Buy a CM/LB first!— Yashasvi L V (@yashasvilv) August 26, 2016
So we've bid £11m for Christian Pulisic, a 17 year old winger. Pretty sure we are screaming out for a DM and LB instead of another attacker

It wasn’t all negative though. Some were just delighted to hear news of another potential arrival.
I'm thirsty for signings. Buy Pulisic!
