Federico Chiesa is on the verge of completing a move to Liverpool, but it’s been a worse day for Darwin Nunez!
Liverpool on the verge of Chiesa signing
Rejoice – Liverpool are finally bringing in a signing for this season!
Federico Chiesa is now all but a Reds player, with various reports stating that personal terms have been agreed and a medical will now take place.
Incredibly, the Italian is expected to cost an initial £10.9 million – almost half of the £20 million they paid for Stewart Downing back in 2011!
It’s a brilliant piece of opportunistic business from Richard Hughes. This is some attack that Liverpool have now!

Liverpool FC: On this day
On this day in 1994, Robbie Fowler scored the fastest-ever Premier League hat-trick at the time, coming in at four minutes and 33 seconds in a 3-0 win over Arsenal.
Exactly five years later, God also found the net against the Gunners with a thunderous strike at Anfield in a 2-0 victory.
In fact, it is Liverpool legend Sadio Mane who now holds the record for the quickest Premier League hat-trick, netting a treble in just two minutes and 56 seconds for Southampton against Aston Villa in 2015.
That’s surely not going to be beaten!?
