Americans Abroad Player of the Week: Malik Tillman

Should PSV wind up sealing the Eredivisie title later this spring, Malik Tillman can be thanked heavily for his production in the squad.

Tillman’s impressive loan spell from Bayern Munich continued over the past week with the U.S. men’s national team midfielder registering three assists in a pair of victory. After assisting once midweek against Excelsior, Tillman registered two assists in Saturday’s 5-1 romp over AZ Alkmaar.

Christian Pulisic

Pulisic scored a wonderful opener on Saturday as AC Milan defeated Lecce 3-0 at home. The USMNT star has been one of the top performers in Stefano Pioli’s squad this season and will aim to finish on a strong note.

UEFA Europa League quarterfinal action comes this week for Pulisic.

Haji Wright

An upset home win for Coventry City was sealed by in-form striker Haji Wright.

Wright scored the second goal for Mark Robins’ squad in a 2-1 EFL Championship triumph over Leeds United. It was the 16th goal for Wright across all competitions this season, continuing an impressive debut campaign in England.

Coventry City remains in the fight for a top-six finish and will count on Wright’s production to help get them over the line.
