Edu sets to splash £13m on versatile Bukayo Saka backup

Arsenal sporting director Edu Gaspar may take advantage of Federico Chiesa’s situation at Juventus to make a bid for the winger. The Gunners are reportedly set to submit a formal bid for Chiesa, who will support star player Bukayo Saka on the wings.

The 26-year-old Italian international has been valued at £13 million, a fraction of his previous worth, making him an attractive option for the Gunners.

Chiesa’s impressive performance at Euro 2020 caught the attention of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who attempted to sign him for £86 million. However, Juventus rejected the offer, and Chiesa’s career has since been hampered by form and injury issues.

Now, with Juventus’s new manager Thiago Motta putting Chiesa up for sale, Arsenal have the opportunity to sign a player who was once considered a top target for Klopp. Chiesa’s versatility and ability to play on the wings or as a striker make him an ideal signing for Arsenal, who are looking to support Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
