Pulisic closes in on career-best season with one goal needed – the figures

Christian Pulisic has been one of the protagonists for AC Milan this season and later today, he could set a new personal best. He needs just one more goal in the league to hit double figures for the first time in his career.

When Milan signed Pulisic for around €20m plus bonuses last summer, many considered it a gamble. While the latter was perhaps true, it has paid off for the Rossoneri with 12 goals and 8 assists from the American this season.

Taking a look at his numbers on Transfermarkt, his goal tally has never reached double figures domestically, managing 9 at most (Premier League with Chelsea, 2019-20). He’s currently on 9 for Milan, with just one more needed to set a new personal best.

Furthermore, it should also be noted that Pulisic already has beaten his best goalscoring season (11 goals in 2019-20) with all competitions considered, currently at 12 goals for Milan. This will arguably go down as his best season ever, with just two more assists needed to equal his personal best on that front as well.

Pulisic will play from the first minute against Lecce later today and this time in the No.10 role. It remains to be seen how he will perform in that position, but surely it will bring him closer to the goal.
