'Christian Pulisic has always been a top player' - Ruben Loftus-Cheek delighted to see USMNT star discover 'new lease of life' at AC Milan after his struggles at Chelsea

Serie A

AC Milan

Juventus

Pulisic has developed into a key player for Milan since his arrival from Chelsea. The 25-year-old has scored seven goals and provided six assists in 24 games in all competitions so far this season, after a disappointing spell at Chelsea that saw him provide just 26 goals and 21 assists in 145 appearances.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Having also played with the USMNT star at Stamford Bridge, Loftus-Cheek told <a href="https://football-italia.net/video-loftus-cheek-and-pulisic-learning-at-milan/" target="_blank">Milan TV</a>: "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."

WHAT LOFTUS-CHEEK SAID

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.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Italian giants face Atalanta in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday. They will then face Roma in Serie A this weekend as they bid to close the gap on leaders Inter.

WHAT NEXT FOR MILAN?
