Federico Chiesa admitted that he's had a 'tough time' this past season at Liverpool while struggling to make an impact in the Premier League, while reaffirming his love and pride of playing for the team.

The 27-year-old made just 14 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool, scoring two goals with two assists, playing just enough games to be given a Premier League medal.

The speedster has been linked to a move back to Serie A, with AC Milan believed to be the favorites, with his future looking unlikely to be at Anfield.

While Liverpool is likely to be moving on from Nunez, and potentially even Diaz, an addition is almost sure to be made in those attacking positions, with Chiesa comfortably down the depth chart under Slot.

Liverpool's No

Federico Chiesa has struggled to make an impact this season

Chiesa was given his moment with the Premier League trophy as his teammates celebrated alongside him at Anfield on Sunday, while he wore a smile when seen on Liverpool's parade bus on Monday.

Chiesa became just the second Italian player to win the Premier League, behind former Red in Mario Balotelli, who won it when with Manchester City.

After signing a five-year deal with Liverpool this offseason, Chiesa is likely to move on, with the team unlikely to recoup the small fee that they paid for him less than 12 months ago.

Napoli and Fiorentina have also been linked with signing him.
