Barcelona defender Serginio Dest is looking forward to linking up with Christian Pulisic for the United States national team.

Both Dest and Chelsea winger Pulisic have been picked for upcoming friendlies against Wales and Panama.

The pair have only played once together for the States', a 3-0 loss to Mexico last year.

"I haven't met Gio Reyna, so I don't know him as a person, but I played with Pulisic," Dest told ESPN. "He's a really good player, they're both really good players. I hope they keep working and we can reach something nice in the coming years.

"Pulisic is a really great player, he's fast, [and] really good at dribbling. I saw in the first couple of [U.S.] training sessions before I made my debut against Mexico, he was so good, you know, in the training. I had some recovery sessions so I was just looking at the training, but he was almost unstoppable.

"And then in the games you see it, he plays really well. Hopefully we can get a good connection on the field and can play with each other really well."
