Christian Pulisic’s wonderful first season as an AC Milan player has seen him become the clear favourite to win the MVP award for the 2023/24 season.
As highlighted by Tuttosport (via Milan News), the American winger is now ‘the mild-mannered leader of Milan’ a reference to his incredibly calm temperament both on and off of the pitch.
With his goal against Hellas Verona last weekend, Pulisic has now reached a number of goals that he has never scored before in a season.
He has got 12 goals so far this season, and there are still two months to go. Nine of them have come in Serie A, and he has also got eight assists to his name.
Having been involved in 20 goals for Milan, he is undoubtedly one of the most important players of the season and will go down as the best signing of the 2023 summer transfer window.
Fellow former Chelsea player Ruben Loftus-Cheek would usually have a claim to being the best new signing of the summer given his first season at Milan has been very impressive, but nobody can compete with Pulisic.
If Milan are to win the Europa League this season, Pulisic will be crucial and his performances have limited the impact of Rafael Leao having a poor year in front of goal.
