• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  He has matched his output from 2023-24 in the current campaign, reaching 15 goals once more alongside seven assists. That return has earned Pulisic plenty of plaudits, with the 26-year-old considered to be the main man for Milan and one of the brightest lights in Serie A.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Pulisic’s efforts have seen him match club legend and current Milan adviser Ibrahimovic. The American has become the first Rossoneri player since Zlatan in 2010-11 and 2011-12 to score 15+ goals in each of their first two seasons with the club.

• WHAT NEXT FOR CHRISTIAN PULISIC?

  There has been talk of Milan rewarding Pulisic for his fine form with a lucrative new contract. All parties appear ready to put pen to paper, with the man himself – who has seen a Premier League return speculated on – admitting to feeling at “home”.
