Pulisic has made an immediate impact at Milan, with two goals recorded through as many Serie A appearances after delivering a flurry of assists in pre-season. The 24-year-old appears to have rediscovered the spark that he lost while in west London, with his new colleagues excited by what the USMNT star has to offer.
WHAT THEY SAID
Calabria has told of Pulisic: “We are talking about a player who was in top form on the world stage just a few months ago. His form dropped in recent months but he is a great player who has already shown what he’s capable of. This is the best environment for him – the squad, the fans and this stadium – in order to steal the limelight again. These recent games have shown he is adapting very well.”

Pulisic has spoken positively about embracing a new challenge in Italy, with his ability having never been in question. There are a number of familiar faces alongside him at Milan – including Olivier Giroud, Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Yunus Musah – with the Pennsylvania native eager to make the most of his time with another giant of European football.
