Christian Pulisic goals for AC Milan: USMNT star scores in three straight for first time in career image

U.S. international star Christian Pulisic has left his Chelsea doldrums behind and found a new home, moving to Italy to play for Serie A side AC Milan.

After completing a €20 million ($21.8m) transfer and signing a four-year deal with an option for a further year, Pulisic is primed for a bounce-back campaign, set to play a major role up front for his new Italian club.

Pulisic delivered straight out of the gates, clobbering a thunderous debut goal in his first Serie A match. Thanks to a fourth-placed finish in the Italian top flight last year, AC Milan will continue in the UEFA Champions League, adding European action to their participation in the yearly Serie A and Coppa Italia competitions. He then grabbed another in his San Siro debut for the club a week later to extend the hot start.

With the 24-year-old officially hitting the ground running, The Sporting News is keeping a close eye on the American's progress in Italy, with the club set to battle on three fronts.

Christian Pulisic last goal for AC Milan

Christian Pulisic enjoyed an electric run of form heading into the March international break, scoring in four straight goals across all competitions, something he had never done before in his club career.

While that streak came to an end after a goalless 17 minutes off the bench against Fiorentina out of the break, he got back on the scoresheet with a bang just six minutes in to their next league game at home against Lecce. Pulisic was back in the starting lineup and curled home a brilliant left-footed rip to get AC Milan started in an eventual 3-0 win.

The goal means Pulisic has scored in each of his last five starts for AC Milan, a massive hot streak as the club heads into a huge Europa League quarterfinal matchup against fellow Serie A side Roma, led by Jose Mourinho.
