Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a surprise move for the Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa.
The 27-year-old has struggled for regular gametime since the move to England, and he has been linked with a move away from Liverpool in the summer. He has started just three games in all competitions for Liverpool this season.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham are interested in signing the player, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. The winger is valued at around €15-20 million. It is a reasonable asking price for the Italian international, and Tottenham certainly have the resources to complete the deal.
Tottenham were keen on the player before he joined Liverpool as well. However, the Italian wanted to join a club with Champions League football back then.
Fabio Paratici could help seal the move
The report claims that Fabio Paratici is expected to return to Tottenham in a formal role at the end of his suspension, and he knows the player from his time at Juventus.
The Italian has strong connections with Chiesa’s agent Fali Ramadani as well. It remains to be seen whether he can help Spurs get the deal across the line.
Federico Chiesa needs a fresh start
The 27-year-old will be desperate to play regularly, and Spurs might be able to provide him with an opportunity. He has the technical attributes to improve Spurs going forward. With regular football, he will be able to regain his form and confidence as well.
He has shown his quality at Liverpool during his cameos, and Tottenham could use a technically gifted attacker like him. He is versatile enough to operate on either flank, and he will add pace and flair to the side. Chiesa has been hailed as an ‘unbelievable’ player.
If Tottenham can get the best out of him, the deal could look like a masterstroke. The player will be desperate to prove himself, and his hunger to succeed will be a bonus for Tottenham.
