Arsenal and Newcastle are set to battle it out this summer as the two Premier League sides eye a move for Juventus winger Federico Chiesa, per recent reports. The 25-year-old has just two years remaining on his contract with the Old Lady and given their lack of Champions League football, they could be forced to make some sales.
Chiesa is a curious case of talent hampered by injury as the winger showed many impressive performances in his two-year spell from Fiorentina. The Italian international was a particular thorn in the side of England at the European Championships in 2020, where his display helped the Azzurri win the tournament in the final.
However, a devastating knee injury in January 2022 saw him out of action for half of the rest of the 2021/22 campaign and a good chunk at the start of 2022/23. A mix of issues since meant he must 75 days for the club following his recovery, resulting in a campaign with very few starts, two Serie A goals and five assists.
