Christian Pulisic plans to be a Bundesliga champion this season despite dismissing talk of a summer move to title-monopolisers Bayern Munich.

The 18-year-old Borussia Dortmund winger, who last month said he 'couldn't do that' when asked about a possible transfer to the Allianz Arena, is convinced his current side have what it takes to topple Bayern.

'We've got a big chance to win the league this coming season,' Pulisic told German magazine Kicker.

Christian Pulisic thinks Borussia Dortmund can take the Bundesliga crown from Bayern Munich

Bayern have been kings of Germany for five successive seasons since Dortmund's last Bundesliga triumph back in 2012.

Three key members of that victorious Dortmund side - Robert Lewandowski, Mats Hummels and Mario Gotze - subsequently left Signal Iduna Park for Bayern, but Pulisic has no intention of following in their footsteps.

Dortmund finished third last season as surprise package RB Leipzig claimed second.

Although Pulisic is talking up BVB's chances of overtaking both of their rivals, he is keen to avoid stressing himself out with excessive personal expectations.

The American wonderkid scored three goals and provided six assists in 29 Bundesliga appearances last season, which he has described as a 'good step in my development'.

Pulisic added: 'I want to build on that. I don't feel the pressure from the fans or media. Only I can put pressure on myself, but I'm trying to keep a lid on things as much as possible.

Dortmund finished a mammoth 18 points behind Bayern in the league last season, but they did beat Carlo Ancelotti's men twice, including en route to winning the German Cup.
