FOOTBALL Chelsea outcast Christian Pulisic to undergo AC Milan medical

The West London club shelled out a whopping €64 million to land the unpredictable dribbler.

Chelsea attacking midfielder Christian Pulisic is now set to have his medical this week and sign his contract ahead of a transfer to AC Milan.

The USA international has had a difficult spell at Stamford Bridge, but that now seems to be coming to an end as he closes in on finalizing his move to Milan.

Pulisic could still end up having a fine career, having looked like a hugely promising young talent during his Borussia Dortmund days, but for one reason or another it never quite happened for him in a Chelsea shirt.

This continues the mass exodus of Chelsea players this summer, with other big names such as N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy leaving to join clubs in Saudi Arabia, while Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, and Mateo Kovacic have joined some of the Blues’ Premier League rivals.

Pulisic, meanwhile, could also link up with another former teammate in the form of Ruben Loftus-Cheek at Milan after he recently made the same move.

The 24-year-old would have raised the expectation levels around him after joining Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in 2019. 

The West London club shelled out a whopping €64 million to land the unpredictable dribbler. Although he had a memorable debut season with Chelsea, his performance levels have wavered since then.

The USMNT international has struggled for consistency, with injuries also playing spoilsport for him. So he has not justified Chelsea’s outlay of €64 million to secure his services nearly five years ago. 

It is hardly surprising that the player became surplus to requirement at Stamford Bridge heading into the summer transfer window.
