USMNT star Christian Pulisic reveals his 'target' in No. 10 role - with AC Milan talisman filling playmaking post for club & country

While the 26-year-old’s creative qualities have never been in doubt, his reputation has largely been forged on the flanks. He has often been at his best when operating out wide and drifting into dangerous positions.

Mauricio Pochettino has experimented with Pulisic in a more central role when representing his country, without much success in the CONCACAF Nations League. Milan have also moved their No.11 inside in a bid to get him even more involved.

Pulisic has no issue with that and has told reporters of seeing his versatility put to good use: "I’ve played in this position many times, I’m ready. I always want to score goals and provide assists, this is the target. I want to score and win. It’s very important."

Pulisic is, with 15 efforts to his name this season, just one goal away from posting another personal best in Italy. That bar was raised during his debut campaign at San Siro and should be nudged a little higher this term with Serie A and Coppa Italia fixtures still to come.
