Federico Chiesa is on the brink of becoming Liverpool’s latest addition, with the Juventus winger set to join the Reds after the clubs agreed on a transfer fee.
With personal terms already settled and a medical scheduled, Chiesa’s move to Anfield is almost complete.
Federico Chiesa expected role and debut at Liverpool
Chiesa, who is expected to sign a four-year contract, will provide much-needed cover for Mohamed Salah on the right wing.
At 26, Chiesa brings a wealth of experience, including over 300 appearances across Serie A, European competitions, and the Italian national team.
However, his injury record has raised some concerns, with 22 different injuries in his career, the most significant being a cruciate ligament tear in the 2021/22 season.
Despite these setbacks, Chiesa remains an exceptional dribbler and a creative force on the field. His ability to carry the ball forward and deliver progressive passes makes him a valuable asset for Liverpool’s attacking line.
Chiesa’s impact could be felt as early as this Sunday, with a potential debut against Manchester United if registered in time.
What Chiesa brings to the Reds
While Chiesa may not be a marquee signing, his ability to generate scoring opportunities and his positive play on the ball make him a significant addition to Liverpool’s squad.
Over the last year, Chiesa has ranked highly in shot-creating actions and progressive carries, showing his ability to influence the game from deeper positions.
However, his finishing and defensive contributions leave room for improvement.
Liverpool fans can expect Chiesa to be a dynamic option across the forward line, primarily serving as backup for Salah.
If all goes according to plan, Chiesa could make his debut in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season, marking the beginning of his journey with the Reds.
