The Italian has expressed his desire to play in the Premier League and he is set to arrive in Liverpool later today to tie up his move.

Chiesa has been spotted on his journey to Merseyside and has already expressed his delight to be on the verge of signing for Arne Slot's side.

"I'm really happy for this new adventure. I'm really happy and my family and I can't wait," Chiesa said.

Chiesa: Low-risk high-reward move

It is evident that Arne Slot wants to bolster his attacking ranks and provide extra cover to Mohamed Salah with the right-wing position lacking in depth at Liverpool.

Chiesa entered his final year of his current deal at Juventus with the Turin club willing to accept just €13m plus add ons for the winger who has caught they eyes of football fans across Europe before injuries took their toll on the 26 year-old.

The Italian international has spent a lot of time on the sidelines over recent years but with the demands on him playing every minute of every game being lessened with a move to Liverpool, this transfer may be a clever deal for all parties.

Chiesa can operate anywhere in attack which will be seen as valuable as just being able to provide cover for Salah.

The Italian has played 131 times for Juventus and was a key figure in Italy's European Championship-winning side in 2021.

Liverpool announced their first signing of the summer on Tuesday night with an agreement struck with Valencia for Giorgi Mamardashvilli and Chiesa is now looking to be the Reds' second piece of summer business following months of inaction on the incoming front.
