Report: Arsenal have just made contact to sign ‘superstar’ Italian forward who’s just like Luis Suarez
According to reports, Arsenal have reached out to Juventus to inquire about the possibility of signing Federico Chiesa during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Gunners are looking to strengthen various positions on their team, with a particular focus on central midfield.
However, they also require a versatile forward who can preferably play on the right side of the pitch.
Arsenal has been linked with several players recently, and La Repubblica suggests that they are now showing interest in Chiesa, who is a prominent player for Juventus.
Arsenal enquire about signing Federico Chiesa
Last season, Arsenal came extremely close to winning the Premier League title, putting up a strong challenge against Manchester City. However, their limited squad depth ultimately led to a five-point gap between them and the champions.
Mikel Arteta’s main priority now is to strengthen the squad and ensure they have the necessary depth to compete throughout an entire season in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Securing the signings of Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo is at the top of their agenda. Additionally, bringing in a new winger to provide competition for Saka and Martinelli would greatly contribute to their goals.
Federico Chiesa has emerged as a potential candidate for this role, and Arsenal has reportedly initiated contact with Juventus to explore the potential cost of the transfer.
Juventus values Chiesa at £51.3 million (€60m). The Italian player, considered a “superstar,” will enter the final two years of his contract this summer.
The new Luis Suarez
Chiesa has consistently been recognized as one of the most exceptional attacking talents in Italy. At the age of 25, he possesses incredible speed, impressive dribbling abilities, and is also capable of scoring goals. His overall skill set makes him a truly outstanding player, earning praise from notable figures such as Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole.
Ferdinand, a Manchester United legend, expressed his admiration for Chiesa, describing him as “fantastic.”
Cole, on the other hand, drew a comparison between Chiesa and a young Luis Suarez, highlighting the similarities in their playing styles.
These accolades from respected individuals further emphasize the exceptional qualities possessed by Chiesa as a footballer. He said in 2021, as quoted by The Metro: “The biggest attribute he’s got is he plays with humility. He’s hustling and bustling like a young Luis Suarez character, he can make something out of nothing.
“Every club in Europe will want a slice of him when he becomes available.”
