Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement could move to Anfield
Having shone for Italy as they won Euro 2020, Federico Chiesa scored the only goal for Juventus as they secured an impressive victory over European champions Chelsea and has certainly helped replace Cristiano Ronaldo at the Turin side.
The 23-year-old is currently in the second season of a two-year loan deal with the Serie A giants, with Juve having a conditional obligation to buy the forward for an initial €40m from Fiorentina next summer.
Liverpool have been widely linked with the Italian winger in recent times and he could be a potential replacement for Mo Salah, whose contract runs out in 2023.

Klopp talks 'Liverpool future'
Work officially began on the 7,000-seat expansion of Anfield Road on Thursday when Jurgen Klopp put the first spade in the ground at a special ceremony at Anfield.
Giving a speech to those at the event before putting the ceremonial spade in the ground, Klopp said the £60million development of Anfield Road is evidence of the dedication to growth after a difficult 18 months because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"It will be massive," Klopp said. "Everything's better with fans.
"We can see that now with the supporters [back inside Anfield] again, everything is much better, much more emotional, much more driven.
"Having 53,000 there is not bad already to be honest, it felt like 100,000 so I can't imagine how 60,000 will feel.
"But now it will be over 60,000 and I absolutely love the idea.
"Since I've been here and not because I am here, but since I am here, a lot of things have happened and with all the great history of this club.
"Everybody is really about building the future of this club."
