MILAN (AP) — Yunus Musah is following United States teammate Christian Pulisic to American-owned AC Milan.

Musah, who was born in New York but grew up in Italy and England, signed a five-year contract with the Rossoneri on Friday following a transfer from Valencia.

Pulisic joined Milan on a four-year deal last month.

Milan is controlled by the American investment firm RedBird Capital Partners led by Gerry Cardinale, and baseball’s New York Yankees are a minority investor.

Musah has made 27 appearances for the United States.

Milan has been active in the transfer market, having also signed Noah Okafor, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders.
