Joe Scally has been tipped to join Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah at AC Milan in January after impressing for Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga.
The 20-year-old full-back scored his first goal of the season to rescue a point for ‘Die Fohlen’ (The Foals) in a 2-2 draw against Mainz on Friday. He went past one defender and let fly with a fierce shot from distance that sent the ball inside the far post in the 88th minute.
‘I knew I was shooting it no matter what, when I got it,’ Scally said. ‘But when I saw the goalie touch it with his hand, I thought it went over the net, but yeah, it’s a nice goal.’
Gladbach sits 12th in the standings after having previously lost all three home games in the Bundesliga – to Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and Leipzig. Last year, the club struggled too, finishing 10th, when it usually vies for a Champions League, Europa League, or Europa Conference League spot.
Meanwhile, Pulisic and Musah have enjoyed a positive start in Serie A, with Milan sitting second in league standings despite being level on points (18) with leaders, and arch rivals, Inter. The Rossoneri are looking to strengthen in defence and have earmarked Scally, who can play on either side, as a winter target, according to Calcio Mercato.
