"Christian Pulisic is a winger, and he has been for most of his career. However, he is now reaping the rewards from his new position. It took less than a minute for Pulisic to score his first goal on Monday, and within 10 minutes, he had a brace. In fact, he could have scored the first hat-trick in Serie A this season if it were not for an offside call."
"So, today, Calciomercato.com suggests that Pulisic can be to Allegri what Higuain was, despite his background as a winger. The American's goal record is better than any striker in the league, and is only bettered by one striker in Europe. So, with this maturity and technicality, the report suggests that he can be like the Argentine who won two Scudetti with Allegri at Juventus."
"Of course, this comparison is relevant currently with Allegri even namedropping the striker in a recent press conference - "As a true centre forward, I've only had Higuain in my coaching career." - and Pulisic is very much the same. There are several differences between the two, but they are both goal scorers and right now, the American is the spearhead of this team, much like Higuain was at the end of the 2010s for Allegri and Juventus."
Christian Pulisic converted from a traditional winger role into a central attacking role and immediately produced prolific results, scoring within a minute and adding a second goal inside ten minutes, narrowly missing a potential hat-trick due to an offside call. Calciomercato.com compares his current impact for Allegri to Gonzalo Higuain, noting an American goal record superior to every Serie A striker and trailing only one European striker. The comparison cites Pulisic's maturity and technical ability and references Allegri's past praise of Higuain as a genuine centre forward. Pulisic currently leads his team as the primary attacking spearhead.
