MILAN (AP) — Christian Pulisic came to AC Milan to revive his flagging club career.
Pulisic has started life in Italy with five goals and two assists in his first 12 league matches with Milan, the 25-year-old matching Weston McKennie’s goal tally for Juventus in the entire 2020-21 season.
Pulisic’s most prolific season was in 2019-20, when he weighed in with nine goals in 25 matches for Chelsea.
Pulisic scored just once in his final season with Chelsea and made just two starts after Jan. 5 before moving to Milan in the offseason.
Pulisic’s new lease of life will be key ahead of next year’s Copa América in the U.S., and a 2026 World Cup co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
