Former Italy striker Christian Vieri is backing AC Milan's move for Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic.

Pulisic is expected to join for a fee in the region of €20m.

Vieri told Gazzeta.it: "He'll certainly get on well, he played with (Olivier) Giroud at Chelsea and they'll get on well since he's quick and darting."

Then on the new Rossoneri owners he also said: "Everyone can do what they want and that's the beauty of life, they bought Milan and they can do what they want.

"We have to give Milan the opportunity to work, in a year I'll tell you what they did, whether good or bad."
