'Definitely possible': Goal-scoring Liverpool forward to make transfer switch | OneFootball

Liverpool will be really happy to have added Alexander Isak into their forward line before the end of the summer transfer window, helping to a new dimension to the attacking options available.

Hugo Ekitike is there to back-up the Swede, while Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha control the left wing, with Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa down the right-hand side. There's lots of variety.

But, Arne Slot will have his preferred options out of those six and some players will inevitably play more than others, makes the team susceptible to some forwards occasionally feeling disheartened.

Chiesa is one such player that fits into that category. He adores the team and wants to make a difference in whichever way he can, but this season especially, regular minutes are paramount.

Is a return to Italy still on the cards?

The Italian winger was linked with a return to playing Serie A football in the summer, with the knowledge that the World Cup is at the end of the season and he desperately wants to be involved.

As a right-sided forward, he's constantly blocked out by Salah and opportunities to play across the attacking line are limited, unless the team has seriously run out of inspiration against a low-block.

So while he might have agreed to stay and fight for minutes in the summer, an opportunity to leave in January on a permanent or temporary move could suddenly be something he ought to consider.

In report from Team Talk, transfer correspondent Dean Jones said: "Chiesa knows he has to be very careful about how he manages this moment of his career. He seems to love being part of Liverpool and they see him as a very useful player. He is patiently waiting for his opportunity to shine.

"Obviously, he cannot wait around forever, but equally, wherever he goes next is likely to be a step down in level. There will be opportunities in January for him to move and a switch back to Italy will definitely be possible - but the player has to be sure that the team fits him properly in order to reach his own heights and produce his best form."

Of course, once the winter transfer window opens, it's possible that the Italian could be added to the Champions League squad - assuming that the Reds make it out of the league phase - but the chances of him playing are restricted to only the Premier League and the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

As such, he'll have a big decision to make over the next few months, and if a departure is the option he chooses, a lot of fans would struggle to begrudge him the move. Most want to see him play more.
