WHAT HAPPENED? Twellman has hailed Pulisic for his refusal to settle as a mere "cheerleader" at Chelsea, while the possibility of a move to AC Milan looms. Twellman commended Pulisic's dedication and desire to make an impact on the pitch, showcasing his relentless drive and ambition.

WHAT THEY SAID: "He was paid to be a goal threatening winger not a cheerleader. Massive respect [Pulisic] for not wanting to be a showman 'off the field'. AC Milan may just get a happier player too now," said Twellman in a tweet.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The American midfielder fell down the pecking order at Chelsea and made just eight starts last season. Chelsea's frustration grew and the Blues have seemingly made the choice to let him go. He looks set to join former teammate, Ruben Loftus Cheek, at Milan. The former Dortmund star will undergo a medical with the club.
