AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic has been speaking about life following his Chelsea exit last summer.

Christian Pulisic left Chelsea for AC Milan in the previous transfer window and is absolutely thriving at the San Siro. In 18 Serie A appearances this season, the 25-year-old has scored six goals and provided five assists.

He recently spoke to The Athletic and told the publication that he is really happy to be at Milan.

It is not a surprise with the American doing really well there. And for pundit Taylor Twellman, Pulisic should have left Chelsea a year earlier.

Christian Pulisic happy at AC Milan

It is fair to assume that Pulisic has no regrets about leaving Chelsea.

On his move from the Blues to Milan, the USA international said: “I’m not here to talk about whether it was fair or not back then. I’m just happy to be where I am now, for sure. The first couple of years were fantastic. The last couple of years… I think a lot of things in the club changed. A lot of people also left this summer, got new opportunities and have done well.”

Christian Pulisic’s first two years at Chelsea

Pulisic’s first two years at Chelsea were certainly good. He really excelled during his first season at Stamford Bridge.

The former Borussia Dortmund man came up with 13 goal contributions in 25 league appearances, which is a great return for a young attacker who was playing in England for the first time.

His stats were not as good the following season, but Chelsea managed to win the Champions League during that campaign, something Pulisic would have probably enjoyed more than scoring 30 goals.

Pulisic’s final year at Chelsea, though, was less memorable. The Milan star found the back of the net just once in the top flight as the Blues went on to finish 12th in the table.
