Overview

  • Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano says Chiesa and his agent have informed Liverpool of his intention to remain at the club.
  • The Italy forward came off the bench to score a late, decisive goal in Friday’s 4-2 win over Bournemouth for his first Premier League strike.
  • Chiesa said he is very happy at Liverpool and wants to stay to fight for trophies after limited minutes in an injury-hit debut season.
  • Arne Slot said he has no reason to think Chiesa’s future will change and praised the bond between the player and fans.
