Liverpool supporters are buzzing with excitement over new signing Federico Chiesa after witnessing the Italian forward score two impressive goals during a training session.
The Reds secured Chiesa’s signature on a four-year deal from Juventus last week, paying an initial fee of £10 million, potentially rising to £12.5 million with add-ons.
Federico Chiesa was spotted at Old Trafford on Sunday, watching Liverpool’s dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester United.
He joined his new teammates in training on Thursday during the international break.
Clips shared on X (formerly Twitter) showcased Chiesa’s goal-scoring prowess, much to the delight of Liverpool fans.

In the first clip, he picked up the ball on the right flank, dribbled past a defender, and coolly slotted the ball into the bottom-left corner with his right foot.

The second goal was even more spectacular, with Chiesa receiving the ball 20 yards from goal and curling it into the top-right corner.
The Liverpool faithful were quick to reply to the videos with one writing “Chiesa is going to be special, so so special.”
Another wrote: “things you love to see, Fede’ with a strong emoji, while one simply said ‘taking the p*** Fede.”
Arne Slot expressed high praise for Chiesa, detailing what he believes the 26-year-old will contribute to Liverpool following the transfer
“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.’
