Christian Pulisic‘s arrival at AC Milan will boost the team’s chances of winning trophies, teammate Rafael Leao said.
The United States captain joined the Italian giants on a permanent transfer from Chelsea for a £20 million ($25.6 million) fee earlier this month.

“I feel good because [Pulisic’s arrival] pushes me as well to do more,” Leao told ESPN.
“Imagine, maybe the coach [Stefano Pioli] can put Pulisic in my position, but in my head, you need quality to add to the team to make a difference, like me.
“It’s important to have serious, high-quality players as that will help us to get trophies.”
Milan lifted the Scudetto in the 2021-22 campaign but finished fourth in Serie A last season.
