Winger Federico Chiesa has given his thoughts after completing his move to Liverpool from Juventus.

Sharing with the media, the Italian player said: “I am very happy. I can’t wait to become a new player for Liverpool. My family and I are very happy. Let me thank Juventus and the fans. They will always be special in my heart.

Now it’s time to start a new journey with Liverpool. I’m ready for this adventure. Is it sad to leave Juve like this? Yes, but I’m really excited for this new adventure. I’m very excited.”

Not long ago, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Liverpool had reached an agreement with Juve to recruit Chiesa . The 26-year-old star joined The Reds for an initial fee of 13 million euros plus additional fees, signing a 4-year contract.

Chiesa becomes Liverpool’s second summer signing after Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Where Chiesa can best play at Liverpool depends largely on what Slot sees as the Italian’s primary role.

For example, 2018/19 was Chiesa’s best dribbling season as he led Serie A in dribbles into the box and was also in the top 5 for both forward passes and successful dribbles.

Chiesa started 28 of his 38 games as a right winger that season, suggesting he could deputise for Mo Salah when the Egyptian needed a rest. However, Chiesa started more games on the left wing over the next two years. From this position, the former Fiorentina man averaged the best expected assists per 90 minutes.

Despite not being particularly sharp, Chiesa still made 50 dribbles into the opposition box, the fifth-best in Serie A.

With Salah still an almost untouchable starter on the right flank, Diaz could be the one most threatened by Chiesa’s arrival. The 26-year-old could join Diogo Jota and Salah in Liverpool’s formidable attacking trio.
