USMNT star, Christian Pulisic, has embarked on a new challenge at AC Milan after completing a summer transfer from Chelsea, where he spent four years.
Pulisic joins former Chelsea teammate Fikayo Tomori in Italy and both players believe that Milan will offer them more opportunities than they had in London.
Despite making a strong start in pre-season with numerous assists, Pulisic has been cautioned about the difficulty of Serie A compared to the Premier League.
The competition in Italy is expected to present unique tests and challenges that he hasn’t encountered before in his career.
Nevertheless, Pulisic seems determined to embrace this new chapter and make a mark in one of Europe’s toughest football leagues.
Tomori has told Sky Sport Italia of welcoming Pulisic to Milan and what lies in store for him: “We’ve known each other since Chelsea and we’ve talked a lot. I’ve told him that Serie A is really difficult.
“Tactically and in terms of details, it is more difficult [than the Premier League]. He is feeling well with the team and hopefully, we can have a great season together.”
Pulisic is one of seven new recruits to have been snapped up by Milan this summer – as they continue to be linked with his international colleagues Yunus Musah and Folarin Balogun – and Tomori believes that the 2021-22 Serie A champions are well placed to challenge for major honours in the upcoming campaign.
The 25-year-old defender added: “We feel on the pitch that we have a strong team. We want to win again because we didn’t do what we wanted last season. Now, also thanks to new players, we are strong and keep improving.
“We are Milan and we want to win. We didn’t do it last season but we want to do it this year,” he continued. We have new players and I think we can win. We are aware of our qualities.”
