Arne Slot has explained why Federico Chiesa was chosen as a key addition to his Liverpool squad.
The Italian forward has completed a transfer from Juventus and signed a long-term contract with the Reds.
Chiesa becomes the second signing of the Slot era, following the acquisition of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for the 2025-26 season.
At 26 years old, Chiesa brings significant experience as an Italy international, with over 50 caps and a Euro 2020 winner’s medal to his name. He is versatile enough to play across the front line.
Slot is eager to work with Chiesa, believing that the forward’s quality and mentality will make a positive impact at Anfield.
“We are really happy to bring Federico to Liverpool,” the head coach told Liverpoolfc.com.
“I don’t think anyone will need me to tell them about his quality because it has been very clear for a number of years in both club football and international football.
“Federico is at a really good age.
“He brings experience and talent, but at the same time he brings the potential to keep on getting better and this is something that really excites us.
“I have said all summer that it is not easy to sign players for Liverpool because the standard of players we have is so high but in Federico I firmly believe we are signing someone who enhances what is already here.
“It’s not just his talents physically; Federico has experience of winning trophies, of course one with his national team, and dealing with setbacks and challenges.
“It’s the mentality we want here at Liverpool.
“Not only this, but he is someone who has an incredible work-rate to match his talent.
“He is a player who can make an impact and can help the team, so this is credit to Richard Hughes and everyone involved in bringing him to Liverpool.
“For now, the priority is for Federico to join the squad, involve himself in training and after this we can look forward to what the future holds.”
