Christian Pulisic’s brace helped Mauricio Pochettino’s side to a comfortable 5-2 aggregate victory over Jamaica, following the 1-0 victory in Kingston. Pulisic also became the fastest USMNT player to 50 goal contributions. While speaking in a post-match interview, teammate Yunus Musah couldn’t help but troll the ‘Lebron James of Soccer’.

“Hey man, Lucky Goal, eh?” said a jubilant Musah, as Pulisic scored his 2nd goal courtesy of a deflection of defender Richard King, which went past goalkeeper Andre Blake. “The 2nd goal, I wish I got a goal like that man!” added Musah, before heading over to his teammates who were in full celebration mode, and rightfully so! 

Despite, the light tease, there is no denying that the former Chelsea man is in solid form this season. “It was an amazing performance, We came out really hot, obviously. It was nice to get the first goal and early goal, and we built off that. I thought the first half was really strong … We should definitely feel good after these results.” added the AC-Milan star. 

Jamaica did fight back with 2 goals from Demarai Gray, but it wasn’t enough for the Reggae Boyz. With Pulisic and Co. looking unstoppable at the moment, things are finally turning around for Pochettino’s men as they look forward to the long international break and have until March to prepare.

Christian Pulisic on the move?

With over 10 goal contributions in 15 matches for AC Milan, Pulisic has caught the attention of other clubs, especially those in the top flight of English Football. Clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool have shown interest in the former Chelsea man, but the Rossoneri are expecting a fee upwards of $64.2 million. It’s worth noting that Pulisic tops the list for the most expensive North American player of all time, with a price tag of approximately $72.8 million. 

With The Red Devils recently undergoing a shift in leadership, new boss Ruben Amorim could replace the likes of Marcus Rashford and Antony, who have been inconsistent so far. Liverpool who have had a solid start to their season under Arne Slot are yet to renew their contract with Mo Salah, so perhaps Pulisic could be a decent long-term replacement. 

The American could also be returning to Chelsea, a club with which he won the Champions League, UEFA Cup, and the Club World Cup, before leaving for Milan for €22 million. The West London streets have not forgotten Captain America but with the likes of Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke, and Pedro Neto shining for The Blues, a return seems unlikely. With the Nations League Final next year, Pulisic’s price tag will rise if he continues his form and wins it for a fourth consecutive time.
