Having struggled for form and fitness across four years at Chelsea, the American forward jumped at the chance to take on a new challenge at San Siro in 2023. That decision has been justified, with the 25-year-old finding consistency amid a regular run of starts.

He has reached 10 goals for the season, while posting a personal best return of 14 goal contributions in Serie A, and boasts the promise of more to come. Pulisic has told of his exploits: “I feel it’s some of the best form in my career, for sure. I’ve been given a lot of confidence and trust here from the staff, my team-mates, the city and the fans, so I feel really, really good here.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Pulisic’s latest strike was a match-winner, as he helped Milan to edge out Empoli, and he will happily take the slice of luck that saw his effort deflect in off Sebastiano Luperto. He added: “It’s a good feeling, it was a bit lucky, but we take it and keep moving.”
