Liverpool head coach Arne Slot confirmed that Federico Chiesa is likely to remain with the club this season following his impactful performance against Bournemouth. Chiesa struggled for playing time since joining from Juventus, making only one Premier League start last term. However, he scored a crucial goal after coming off the bench in the recent match. Slot highlighted Chiesa's previous fitness struggles and emphasized the importance of his contribution and the support he received from fans. Chiesa's goal was his first in the Premier League and reinforced his potential impact moving forward.
As long as he's here, it's definitely at Liverpool and I have no reason to believe something is going to change. He had a hard time last season getting his fitness ready.
Unfortunately for him he missed out on our Asian tour as well so he missed quite a lot. When we needed Federico at 2-2, we brought him in and he delivered and that's always positive for your future at the club.
After the fans sung for him so many times during the game and last season as well, I think it's nice for him to give them something in return and that's definitely what he did today.
Chiesa has been heavily linked with a return to Italy this summer but, asked on Friday where the player's future lies, Slot said.
