Chelsea, Tottenham open talks with Federico Chiesa entourage

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in talks to sign 26-year-old Italian international Federico Chiesa from Serie A club Juventus in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on HITC, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Federico Chiesa. The two London giants have already opened talks with the representatives of the Juventus attacker. Meanwhile, intermediaries have informed Arsenal and Liverpool about the 26-year-old forward’s situation at the Serie A club.

The Federico Chiesa situation

Federico Chiesa has reached a crossroads in his career after a sub-par 2023/24 campaign with Juventus. In addition, the Italian international failed to make his mark for Italy at UEFA Euro 2024, with the Azzurri crashing out in the round of 16. However, the player’s stock in the market remains high, with Chelsea and Tottenham among his prospective suitors. In addition, Arsenal and Liverpool are informed of his situation at the Serie A club.

A man in demand

Chelsea will look to sign a wide attacker in the summer transfer window due to the inconsistent displays of Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Noni Madueke. So, Chiesa has emerged as a viable target for the West London club heading into the summer transfer window.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, they might cash in on Manor Solomon in the summer transfer window, while Richarlison faces an uncertain future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. So, Chiesa is an option worth considering, with Tottenham and Chelsea initiating the discussions to sign the 26-year-old from Juventus.

Meanwhile, Arsenal and Liverpool can do with a player like Federico Chiesa. Mikel Arteta wants two top-notch options for every position in his squad, which the Gunners lack in the current group. Chiesa thus features on Arsenal’s radar, although they have not done much to pursue the Juventus forward.

On the other hand, Arne Slot is in a spot of bother over the long-term futures of Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah. In addition, Salah is on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the final phase of his glittering career. So, Chiesa is a viable target for Liverpool.

Apart from Chelsea and Tottenham, Newcastle United have also opened talks with the representatives of the 26-year-old Italian international. It will be interesting to see if Chiesa’s spell in Serie A ends and if he moves to the Premier League.
