Fiorentina chief confirms PL interest in Manchester Utd-linked Federico Chiesa

Fiorentina director general Joe Barone has confirmed that Federico Chiesa has garnered interest from clubs in the Premier League.

The 22-year-old has been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea following a strong campaign in Italy, where he has amassed six goals and five assists in Serie A this season.

Chiesa recently admitted that he is not considering a move away from Fiorentina at the moment, although Barone has since revealed that there has been interest from clubs in England.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Barone said: "Chiesa is a Fiorentina player.

"There are clubs knocking at the door for Chiesa, some of them who speak English... We'll see, for the moment we just need to finish the season and he is very concentrated on doing well for us."

Chiesa, who has chalked up 29 goals from 139 appearances since his senior debut in 2016, will see his current deal at Fiorentina expire in 2022.
