Pulisic is a player Klopp really likes  He didn't say if Liverpool were in for him, or if they had no interest at all

 But Klopp wouldn't rule out working with Chelsea newboy Christian Pulisic in the future

 "If Christian would at one point join us, I don't know," Klopp said.  "But I like him and it's not like that could be the problem

We respect contracts still and there is no market that I know about in the moment

" Solanke to stay put  Dominic Solanke's move to Crystal Palace is off and he could be set to stay on Merseyside

 "He's a fine player and I accept in this instance the club has made a decision it wasn't the right moment to do this deal and we will work with what we have

Chelsea transfer news: Eden Hazard team-mate makes Lionel Messi claim amid Real Madrid rumours - Duration: 4:04.

 Hazard started on the wing in their clash with Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, with misfiring Alvaro Morata named as the central striker

 However, manager Maurizio Sarri has opted to use the Belgian as his main frontman on a number of occasions this season and Pedro thinks he is among the best in the world in that position

"I think it's a very good option for a team with players like Messi or Hazard because it's very difficult for defenders to mark them," the Spanish dais in the match programme

 "When someone like that plays as a false nine, he moves with more freedom on the pitch and it's difficult for central defenders to go with him when he moves a lot from the right side to the left, wherever there is space

 "It's good I play more narrow with Eden, to do one-twos or combinations of passes

 "I think working between the lines with this kind of player is so dangerous for the other team

 "He is a determined player. When he gets the ball he takes responsibility to score and to create chances

This is so difficult in football. "He is one of the best in the world. I have always said that

Eden is a machine on the pitch. "When you see this guy you enjoy it a lot ike you do with Messi, (Anders) Iniesta, Xavi

 "But we can also play with Oli or Alvaro as the striker and it is a different way

 "Then we play more to take one of two touches, then to cross it into the area to score with a header or something

The system and also the idea is different." Pedro's comments come amid rumours that Hazard is set to leave the club and join Real Madrid

 He has been continually linked with a move to the Bernabeu and has previously admitted it is a dream of his to one day play for the club

 Hazard's contract at Stamford Bridge expires at the end of next season and the Blues have moved to sign Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund

 The American winger has been loaned back until the end of the current campaign and will link up with his new team-mates in the summer

 It had been suggested that he has been signed as a replacement for Hazard and the deal was announced shortly after Sarri demanded he make a decision on his future
