Federico Chiesa keen to be a success at Liverpool

Federico Chiesa has stressed his determination to be a success at Liverpool after a stunted start to his Anfield career led to speculation about his future. The Italy international looked lively on only his second start since joining from Juventus in August, having a hand in both goals of the 3-2 defeat at PSV Eindhoven.
Chiesa was a late summer window arrival – the only signing made for new head coach Arne Slot, with a deal done for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to arrive for next season – and he struggled for fitness after a lack of pre-season. The match in Eindhoven was only his ninth appearance and that lack of game time had led to conjecture about his prospects and he was linked with a January return to Italy.
But there is no prospect of that as Chiesa is keen to bolster the club’s fight for four trophies. “Since I joined Liverpool I’ve wanted to prove myself,” he told LFCTV. “I couldn’t for many reasons and getting 90 minutes after a big while, it was great because I needed it.
“There’s room for improvement, there’s room to get better and better, and being at the best of my game. I want to be here, I want to play for Liverpool, I want to challenge myself. “We have a great team and it’s hard to play, but that’s normal, because I want to be here, I want to play for Liverpool, I want to challenge myself. I will be ready for my next opportunity.”.
