Liverpool’s latest signing, Federico Chiesa, has explained why he joined the club as a free agent.
Liverpool officially announced the signing of Chiesa on Thursday.
The 26-year-old forward joined the Premier League giants on a long-term deal after his contract with Juventus expired.
Speaking after signing for Liverpool, the Italy international suggested that he joined the Reds because of the club’s history and what its fans represent.
“I’m so happy to be a Liverpool player. When Richard Hughes called me and he said, ‘Do you want to join Liverpool?’ – and the coach called me – I said yes immediately because I know the history of this club, I know what it represents to the fan,” Chiesa told Liverpool’s website.
“So, I’m so happy and I can’t wait to get started.”
