  • Christian Pulisic is only an official announcement away from joining AC Milan
  • He left Chelsea after four years in which he struggled to make an impact due to injuries
  • A video has emerged of the American and his mom, Kelly, showing skills on the ball

We now know where Christian Pulisic's football talent came from after a video emerged of him and his mom, Kelly Pulisic showing off ball skills in the house.

Pulisic is one of the best American footballers in Europe and has played for some of the best clubs, including Borussia Dortmund in Germany and Chelsea in England.

As reported by The Athletic, he is set for a new adventure in Italy after Chelsea agreed to a £18.8m deal with AC Milan. The move is subject to medical and personal terms.

The Champions League winner is already in Milan, as spotted in a video recirculated on Twitter by Milan Posts, he took time to sign autographs for fans after signing his contract.

Pulisic balls with his mom

A video of the 24-year-old and his mom, Kelly playing football in the kitchen was uploaded on his Instagram and reshared on Twitter by ESPN UK.

They were tapping the ball at each other, and whoever let it drop lost. In the end, it was the former Barcelona trialist who let it drop and had fans calling the mother a better footballer.

According to LifeBogger, his mum and dad, Mark, are sports-loving parents and played collegiate soccer at George Mason University, where they met.

The move to Milan gives the USMNT star the opportunity of reuniting with former Chelsea teammates Fikayo Tomori, Olivier Giroud and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

He leaves Stamford Bridge after 145 games, in which he scored 26 goals, provided 21 assists and won three trophies - the 2021 UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

Arsenal advised against Pulisic

Sports Brief reported that former player Sol Campbell advised Arsenal not to sign Pulisic when they showed interest in January but instead go for Mykhailo Mudryk.

Chelsea hijacked Mudryk from the grasp of Mikel Arteta's men and have now sold the American to Milan, leaving their rivals to sign Belgian forward Leandro Trossard in the winter window.
