But having spent the summer working closely alongside him, Roberto Mancini&#8217;s No.2, Alberico Evani, believes there&#8217;s even more to come from Chiesa.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c[Federico] Chiesa will get even stronger over time,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/liverpool-transfer-news-federico-chiesa-24633541\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Evani, who feels there is one particular attribute that makes Chiesa one of the most deadly forwards in Europe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has this deadly change of pace and can change the game like few others in Europe. When he steps up a gear and accelerates, you just cannot keep up with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe also shoots well with both feet and maintains that technique even when running at speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chiesa&#8217;s aforementioned goal against Spain was reminiscent of those we&#8217;ve become used to from Salah and Mane scoring over the years, chopping inside to leave an isolated defender in the dust before curling a precision effort inside the far post. And it&#8217;s something he&#8217;s become an expert in at club level, too, scoring nine Serie A goals last season from 7.23 xG.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1213490\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-66x65.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-999x999.jpg 999w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map-330x330.jpg 330w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/07\/28171535\/1213483_1213483_player_xg-shot-map.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Chiesa is already a starter-calibre player who could be rotated in and out of Klopp&#8217;s XI and, at 23, would represent a wonderful investment in Liverpool&#8217;s future. Of course, a 23-year-old European Championship winner doesn&#8217;t come cheap and, in a post that suggests the Reds have made enquiries, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1420213895386566665\"><strong>Fabrizio Romano<\/strong><\/a> claims Juventus consider the player &#8216;untouchable&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Given their previous transfer strategy, it&#8217;s hard to see Liverpool pushing any further for Chiesa but if they did, what a player they&#8217;d be signing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Realistic: Jarrod Bowen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a remarkable rise for Jarrod Bowen, who has gone from playing in the Conference with Hereford to firing West Ham United into the Europa League in just seven years. Signing for Liverpool, as The Athletic&#8217;s James Pearce has suggested is a possibility, would be quite the end-point to that journey.<\/p>\n<p>On the face of it, Bowen feels like an underwhelming choice given his humble roots. But dig a little deeper and you can see why Klopp would fancy him. The 24-year-old notched eight goals and five assists in the Premier League last season and was key to sustaining the Hammers&#8217; challenge for European qualification. But perhaps even more impressively, of the 29 chances Bowen created, 11 of them were classed as &#8216;big chances&#8217;. That rate of 37.9% was even more prolific than the likes of Bruno Fernandes <span>(21%, 20 big chances created, 95 chances created) and Kevin De Bruyne (23.6%, 19 big chances created, 80 chances created).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bowen occupies similar spaces on the pitch as Salah and is akin in terms of his physical stature. Also like Salah, Bowen loves to cut inside onto his left foot to unleash shots on goal, while his pace makes him frustratingly hard to stop for defenders.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham boss David Moyes has drawn comparisons between Bowen and another English player to rise through the leagues, Jamie Vardy, insisting his winger is hungry enough to achieve even higher feats.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.williamhill.com\/betting\/en-gb\/football\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">William Hill<\/a>&#8216;s 2021\/22 Premier League Golden Boot odds&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Harry Kane &#8211; 3\/1<\/li>\n<li>Mohamed Salah &#8211; 4\/1<\/li>\n<li>Gabriel Jesus &#8211; 16\/1<\/li>\n<li>Timo Werner &#8211; 16\/1<\/li>\n<li>Raheem Sterling &#8211; 16\/1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Odds in this article are correct at the time of writing. 18+ only.<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambleaware.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambleaware.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eGambleAware.Org<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cJamie Vardy is a really good example [for Jarrod] of what you can do if you dedicate yourself and you don\u2019t give up, you don\u2019t let anybody put you down and keep going,&#8221; Moyes said in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat raw potential came from inside hunger, to take the chance when you get it.
