The American arrived at the club for a fee of around €20m in the summer and he has scored four goals so far. As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, all four of them have been very important, breaking the deadlock in all of those games which Milan went on to win.
As things stand, there’s no match between Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze, who didn’t have the best of games last night. However, the increased importance of the American has eased some pressure off of Rafael Leao’s shoulders.
Milan are no longer dependent on Leao and this is indeed very important for Stefano Pioli’s side. The Portuguese winger remains the strongest player, but with the positive performances of Pulisic the Rossoneri are a lot more unpredictable.
Pioli is hoping that the alternatives Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze will get going as well, but they evidently need some more time.
