Pulisic has developed into a key player for Milan since his arrival from Chelsea.

Having also played with the USMNT star at Stamford Bridge, Loftus-Cheek told Milan TV: "Pulisic has always been a top player, obviously it didn’t work out for him too well at Chelsea, but you can see at Milan he has this new lease of life.
"He’s happy, playing his football and he has been a key figure for us this season, with his goals and how he plays on the right side.“He’s a fantastic player, we all know this and hope he continues his form."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek shared the pitch together 46 times for Chelsea, and the Blues only lost nine of those games. They have a similarly good record at Milan; in 17 games, they have only tasted defeat three times while playing together.
