Milan star Christian Pulisic joked with the team’s kit man Hesham Hassan on social media after scoring a left-foot goal against Lecce.

Pulisic is having a fantastic season at San Siro, having already netted 13 goals in 41 games across all competitions. With Saturday’s goal against Lecce, the American star reached double figures for league goals for the first time in his career.

It was a special goal also because Pulisic scored it with his left foot, which is not his preferred one.

For this reason, he was praised by someone working behind the scenes at Milan: the kit man Hesham Hassan, who shared Pulisic’s goal on his Instagram story.

The USMNT seemed amused by the message and replied on his official account, writing, “I always listen.”

Milan are so impressed by Pulisic’s performances this season that, according to Il Corriere dello Sport, they are already convinced to activate an option to extend the winger’s contract until 2028.
