More recognition for Christian Pulisic as USMNT star wins Gentleman Serie A award following excellent debut season

On Thursday, the 29th edition of the Gentleman Awards took place, where players are rewarded for their fair play across the Serie A season. And for Milan, United States international Pulisic scooped up the Gentleman award, while team-mate Tijjani Reijnders and ex-Rossoneri player Daniele Massaro received accolades, too.

Pulisic has proven to be an excellent £17 million ($22m) purchase from Chelsea and his performances have attracted praise from pundits and fans. While the 25-year-old's 15 goals and nine assists didn't secure Milan a trophy, his stock has risen in a promising campaign.

For all of Pulisic's positives, Milan are a whopping 18 points behind league leaders and bitter rivals Inter. They also suffered a 2-1 defeat to the Nerazzurri last month in a result that virtually handed their historic foes the Serie A title.

Pulisic's Milan side round off their season away to Torino on Saturday evening, before hosting already-relegated Salernitana on Sunday, May 26. It remains to be seen who will replace outgoing manager Stefano Pioli for next season.
