Christian Pulisic has been named AC Milan’s player of the month for January.
The U.S. men’s national team star scored four goals across three different competitions in the month, continuing a prolific season with the Rossoneri.
Pulisic began January by scoring against Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana semifinal, then netted a crucial equalizer against Inter as Milan defeated its city rival in the final.
The 26-year-old added a goal in a Serie A victory over Parma, as well as a goal in a Champions League defeat against Dinamo Zagreb in midweek.
With the goal in Zagreb, Pulisic became the first USMNT player to score four times in a single Champions League season.
Pulisic has been AC Milan’s most effective attacking player this season, leading the team with 12 goals in all competitions and sitting second with five assists.
Pulisic will look to score for a third game running against Inter this season on Sunday as the teams face off in the derby at San Siro.
Inter enters the match in second place, while Milan is 16 points behind its city rival in seventh place.
