With rumors of curiosity from his house nation surfacing in latest months, FSG could conclude that Chiesa must be bought after simply one-and-a-half seasons at Liverpool. Mohamed Salah’s return from AFCON will doubtless additional cut back his taking part in time, particularly as Slott has indicated his intention to make use of Jeremy Frimpong within the high slot.
‘Fede’ has proven his Midas contact in entrance of purpose this season, scoring two targets off the bench within the Premier League. Nonetheless, he might be appropriate as an impression substitute.
Possibly Slott is aware of one thing about administration in any case. Ought to Liverpool act on their curiosity in a brand new winger, they might immediate a sale for Chiesa. If the Italian needs to play common soccer all through the remainder of his prime, which may be one of the best wager for all events.
