• Pulisic to join AC Milan
• Milan to pay £17m as transfer fees
• USMNT star already in Italy

WHAT HAPPENED? The USMNT star has already landed in Milan ahead of a medical with the club as his permanent move from Chelsea edges closer to completion.

Upon arriving at the Milan Malpensa airport, Pulisic shared a video on social media, saying: "Hi AC Milan supporters. Christian Pulisic. I have just arrived in Milan. So excited to be here and can't wait to get started."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Pulisic will look to relaunch his career at Milan after enduring a tough four-year spell at Chelsea, where he failed to nail down his place as a regular starter. During his time at Stamford Bridge, he made 145 appearances, scoring 26 goals and providing 21 assists across all competitions.
