Juventus winger Federico Chiesa has been linked with the move away from Italy this summer and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for most clubs.
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the 26-year-old who scored 10 goals in all competitions, last season and journalist Enzo Buchioni feels that the Italian international could prove to be a bargain this summer.
The winger is likely to be available for a fee of €20 million and Buchioni claims that he would be an absolute opportunity at that price. Furthermore, he added that Napoli manager Antonio Conte could get the best out of the Italian if Napoli managed to secure his signature.
He said via CalcioNapoli24: ” Chiesa an opportunity for Napoli ? When you have money in your hands, and few others do, you can take advantage of the opportunities and occasions that come along. I’d include Chiesa in that. But how much can he cost now? 20 million? And if I take him for free in a year? I’ll find an agreement with the player today and take him in a year. This could be not just an opportunity, but a great opportunity. But staying in the present, even at 20 million this summer he’s an absolute opportunity: he needs to be relaunched, but give Chiesa to Conte and you’ll see what kind of player he would come back!
“With his explosiveness and his quality. The market is also this: connections, opportunities, the right moment. Napoli without cups can make all the discussions with extreme serenity!”.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to make a move for him. They have been heavily linked with the player in recent weeks. Tottenham need to bring in a quality winger who will add goals and creativity from the wide areas and Chiesa certainly fits the profile. He has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League and he could transform Spurs in the final third.
The North London club will look to challenge for trophies in the upcoming campaign and they will look to secure Champions League qualification as well. Signing the right players will help them improve and the Italian international would be a major coup for them at the reported price.
Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to pay €20 million for him, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming weeks.
Chiesa has proven himself in Italy and he will look to try out a new challenge at the stage of his career. A move to the Premier League will be an exciting opportunity and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
