USMNT star striker Christian Pulisic could be set to swap London for Milan this summer according to reports in Italy today.
The 24-year-old Hershey native is thought to not be part of incoming Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino’s plans next season and the Blues will be able to accelerate a summer switch to the Rossoneri. Pulisic is frustrated with life in West London and is desperate to leave the club after playing a bit-part role in the last two years.
