Christian Pulisic won’t be leaving Borussia Dortmund until at least the summer, according to the club’s sporting director Michael Zorc.

The winger has made seven starts in all competitions this season with two goals and two assists for his team-mates in the process.

Pulisic‘s form over the last couple of campaigns for Dortmund has alerted a number of clubs around the world with Chelsea and Liverpool thought to have the strongest interest in his signature.

Reports over the weekend claimed that Jurgen Klopp was prepared to sacrifice summer signing Fabinho to raise funds to buy the USA international.

Dortmund, however, are four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga with fierce rivals Bayern Munich back in fifth place.

And Zorc claims Pulisic is going nowhere as they need his help to secure a first Bundesliga title since 2011-12.

“We are planning with him at least until the end of the season,” Zorc told kicker.

“We will need Christian significantly.”
