Chelsea have been one of the long-term admirers of Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic, viewing him as the perfect man to step in the boots of Eden Hazard should the Belgian quit the club. They have been linked with a £70m move for the American on numerous occasions and it seems their wishes could finally come true.

According to RMC Sport via Express, Borussia Dortmund have already contacted Borussia Monchengladbach over a potential move for Thorgan Hazard. The Germans already seem to be planning for life after Pulisic, viewing Hazard as his successor.

Liverpool have also been shortlisted as one of the 20-year-old's possible destinations should he quit the club, which means Chelsea won't get to sign him that easily. The prospect of Thorgan Hazard joining Dortmund in January could also open up the possibility of Pulisic leaving the club in the mid-season.
