There were highs for Pulisic in England, but he often struggled for form and fitness – resulting in him struggling to nail down a regular role in one set position. Milan have given him opportunities to play every week, while operating in a wide attacking role, and have seen him deliver seven goal contributions in his last eight appearances.

WHAT TWELLMAN SAID ABOUT PULISIC

Former USMNT star Taylor Twellman believes Pulisic should have severed ties with Chelsea sooner, posting on social media after watching another impressive display from ‘Captain America’: “I appreciate the fact that Pulisic tried to ‘gut it out’ @ChelseaFC but what if he left a year ‘earlier’ than he did??? He’s playing so free in Milan right now it’s a pleasure to watch.”
