THE BIGGER PICTURE
AC Milan signed Pulisic from Chelsea last summer for a fee in the region of £18 million ($22m), and since then the American has provided a bright spark in an otherwise underwhelming campaign for Stefano Pioli's side. The 25-year-old has chipped in seven goals and six assists in all competitions this season, but Milan find themselves out of the Champions League and Coppa Italia and nine points behind league leaders Inter.
