Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa is emerging as a transfer target for both AC Milan and Napoli ahead of January after becoming unsettled at Anfield.

The 27-year-old could clearly be an asset for Milan, who are understood to be looking to replace Samuel Chukwueze, so that might mean he gets more playing time at the San Siro.

Liverpool will need squad depth over the course of the season, though, so it will be interesting to see if…
