Anfield legend Steven Gerrard reacts to Liverpool’s first major signing of the Arne Slot era
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has given his enthusiastic endorsement of the club’s new signing, Federico Chiesa after the Reds secured the Juventus forward, Soccernet.football reports.

Gerrard, a former Liverpool captain and one of the most iconic figures in the club’s history, took to Instagram to express his excitement about the acquisition of the 26-year-old Italian international.

Gerrard’s public approval is notable, as it’s uncommon for such a revered figure to comment on a new signing before they’ve had the chance to play.

On his Instagram story, Gerrard praised the completion of the deal with happy emojis, clearly thrilled at the prospect of Chiesa joining Liverpool.

Interestingly, Chiesa had earlier expressed his admiration for Gerrard, stating that he considered the ex-Liverpool midfielder superior to both Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes, which adds an extra layer to the mutual respect between the two.

Chiesa has been highly regarded ahead of his move to Anfield, with several football experts, including Italian football specialist Mina Rzouki, offering glowing reviews of his abilities.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Rzouki highlighted Chiesa’s versatility, stating, “He’s an incredibly direct player, he can play on the left or right – he can even play as a second striker although he’s not a huge fan of doing that.”

She also praised his performances during Euro 2020, particularly against Spain and in the final, noting his acceleration, dribbling, and ability to cover a lot of ground.

Chiesa’s signing marks the first major addition under Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot. The winger has signed a four-year contract for a reported fee of £10 million.

With Darwin Nunez facing a five-game suspension by CONMEBOL and rumours of his potential move to Arsenal quashed, Chiesa’s arrival gives Liverpool a crucial boost as they return to the UEFA Champions League after a season away.

Chiesa, who scored 10 goals in 37 appearances for Juventus in his final season, is expected to immediately integrate into Slot’s plans as Liverpool prepare for the upcoming season.
