Chiellini praises 'unstoppable' Chiesa
Federico Chiesa is "unstoppable" in one-on-one situations and would be a fantastic signing for any of Europe's top clubs, believes his former Juventus and Italy team-mate Giorgio Chiellini.
Chiesa has been linked with a move to Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in recent months, having impressed for Massimiliano Allegri's much-improved Juventus side this season.
The Italy international only made six league starts for the Bianconeri in 2022-23, having battled back from an anterior cruciate ligament injury which caused him to miss most of 2022.
He has been back to something approaching his best this term, scoring four goals and adding one assist in 14 league games to help Juventus stay within two points of Inter at the Serie A summit.
Chiellini – who called time on his own glittering career at the age of 39 this week – believes the Azzurri forward could be a difference-maker for any of the continent's elite teams.
Speaking exclusively to Stats Perform, the former defender said: "Chiesa is a player that could play in every big team in Europe. He could face you 10 times and beat you nine of 10 times!
"He can go right and left, his pace is amazing. He's fantastic for that type of job.
"He's not the type of player that links the team, like a number 10, not a player that likes to have the ball and connect passes with team-mates, but one against one, he's unstoppable.
"We have to use that in the space, one against one, starting from the edge and trying to shoot or cross into good positions.
"That's the player that Chiesa is and that makes the difference. He would be good for Bayern, he would be good for Juventus and also many other teams all over Europe because these skills are unique and he's very good at that.
"He's maybe not able to do other things but in those skills, he's very, very, very good."
