Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have both been linked with Serie A forward Federico Chiesa.
Federico Chiesa has grown tired with life at Serie A crisis club Fiorentina, according to Calciomercato, with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool apparently interested in signing one of Italy’s rising stars.
The blistering 21-year-old forward is one of the brightest young talents in Serie A and the leading light of a Fiorentina team who are destined for a disappointing second half finish after a disastrous season on and off the pitch.
And, despite suggestions that Chiesa could captain La Viola in 2019/20, Calciomercato reports that he has grown tired of the ‘climate of tension’ at the Stadio Artemio Franchi and is now giving serious consideration to walking away.
Corriere dello Sport claimed recently that Liverpool are big fans of the 11-time Italy international, although they would have to pay a club record £86 million with Fiorentina determined to earn top dollar for their prized asset.
Tottenham are interested too, according to the Sun, and they could have an advantage over their Champions League final opponents given that Chiesa is keen on living in London.
The forward, son of former Italy striker Enrico, has 12 goals and nine assists this season.
