Federico Chiesa is one of the best young wingers in Europe, and there is no surprise that both Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the Fiorentina star.

The Sun has claimed of interest in Chiesa from Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham, while Tuttomercatoweb.com has reported that Liverpool want the 21-year-old winger this summer.

Fiorentina, though, do not have any plans to sell the Italy international winger this summer, with the Italian club’s new owner Rocco Commisso making it clear that the 21-year-old will stay.

Gianlucadimarzio.com quotes Commisso as saying about Chiesa: ”I haven’t spoken to his entourage, I saw the Under 21 match and he scored a great goal.

“Percentages he’ll stay in Florence? Unless there are things I don’t know, he’ll stay another year. He grew up in Florence, his parents live here and love Fiorentina.”
