Christian Pulisic back to the Premier League? Who says no?
The USMNT star, who’s in action tonight for Pochettino’s side in a Nations League quarter-final, is getting tipped for a move back to England.
But don’t worry, Chelsea fans. The American winger is done in West London, where he won the 2021 Champions League. London’s East-side Hammers are interested in signing the 26-year-old.
During this campaign, Pulisic is enjoying some of the best football of his career at AC Milan. He’s racked up an impressive 7 goals and five assists in 15 matches, including a rare Olimpico in the Champions League that would make Messi envious. Since joining the Rossoneri in July 2023 from Chelsea, he’s notched 38 total goal contributions in 65 matches.
Can Pulisic help revitalize West Ham’s attack?
Unlike Pulisic, West Ham is not enjoying the start of the latest Premier League campaign. The Hammers sit 14th in the table with just three wins in 11 matches, putting pressure on current manager Julen Lopetegui. The claret and blue outfit is struggling offensively and desperately needs a spark in attacking quality. So what’s holding them up?
Pulisic’s AC Milan contract expires in 2027. A serious and lucrative transfer offer will have to come forth for AC Milan to consider a deal for the USMNT captain. Pulisic has played a vital role in AC Milan’s big games this season, with goals against Liverpool and an assist against Real Madrid in the Champions League. He’s one of the team’s prize assets.
Previous high-profile strikers like Sebastien Haller struggled at West Ham. Niclas Fullkrug is the latest. But Pulisic could be the right spark to begin the second half of the Hammers’ season. His speed and ability to light up the field in one-on-one situations is appreciated.
Is this Pulisic’s last season or day, we say, moments in Italy?
