TOP STORY: AC Milan, Juventus keep tabs on Pulisic

Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic could be set for a summer move to Serie A, with the Daily Mail reporting that both AC Milan and Juventus are tracking the United States international.

Pulisic, 23, has struggled to hold down a regular place in Chelsea’s first XI after moving to West London from Borussia Dortmund three years ago, making 50 Premier League starts with a further 24 appearances off the bench.

He has also been linked with a move to Liverpool.

“Of course, I want to get more playing time,” Pulisic said at a news conference while away on international duty. “I want to be on the field as much as I can and be the sharpest I can be and fit as well.

“I think I still got a lot of games, but it’s always something that I’m working at and trying to be regular at club level as well to put myself in the best position to be fit when I come here with the national team.”
