"The full-back has not only healed from the ACL injury that cut short his last campaign, but is off to a torrid start to the new Dutch season, with a pair of goals from the back-to-back champions' first three games. It's early, sure, but the 24-year-old is rested, confident and on a club where he doesn't have to do much defending during domestic games."
"Something lost in all the noise about Pulisic opting to skip the Gold Cup is that ultimately, the reason it matters so much is that Pulisic is a very good player. While it looks for now like Milan are headed for a rocky season, it probably won't be because of Pulisic performing poorly he was among the squad's best players last year and will be asked to do even more this time around."
"But I think his fellow Championship striker, Sargent, may be the player to have the best season after remaining with Norwich despite opportunities elsewhere. The 25-year-old has three goals in three games already, and shows no signs of letting up. The key is staying healthy Sargent has had great runs of form in the past, and they've often been interrupted by injuries."
Sergino Dest has recovered from an ACL injury and has started the Dutch season strongly for PSV, scoring twice in the club's first three games while playing in a less defensive domestic role. Christian Pulisic remains a high-quality performer at AC Milan and is likely to be a team leader expected to shoulder increased responsibility even if the club struggles. Josh Sargent stayed with Norwich, has three goals in three games, and projects strong form provided he stays healthy after past injury interruptions. Antonee Robinson, Chris Richards, and Haji Wright also carried positive form into the new season, and Gio Reyna moved to Borussia Monchengladbach.
