Former player Jamie Carragher was very excited with what new player Federico Chiesa showed in the match against West Ham.

Newcomer Federico Chiesa made his first start for Liverpool this morning. In 59 minutes against West Ham in the third round of the Carabao Cup, Chiesa made 1 assist.

His performance certainly delighted many Liverpool fans, including Jamie Carragher , who said Chiesa played like he cost £80m .

Carragher told Sky Sports: “Chiesa was an £80m player a few years ago. He showed glimpses of that today.”

Liverpool World gave Chiesa a 6 out of 10 rating for his efforts against West Ham, writing: “He may have tried to score with a failed volley, but he didn’t care when the ball found Jota and he equalised.”

Meanwhile, Liverpool.com rated the Italian player 7/10 points and considered him one of the standouts in the team’s 5-1 victory .
