Liverpool fans were already saying the same thing about Federico Chiesa just minutes into his first start at Anfield.

Chiesa joined the Reds from Juventus for an initial fee of £10 million, but saw his game time limited in the early weeks of the season.

Manager Arne Slot confirmed earlier this week that the Italian winger was not yet able to complete 90 minutes, having had little time on the pitch over the past five months.

But he gave him his first start in Liverpool's Carabao Cup clash against West Ham.

Despite going 1-0 down early on through a Jarell Quansah own goal, Liverpool equalised on 27 minutes through Diogo Jota - and Chiesa grabbed the assist.

But even before then, Liverpool fans were already encouraged by the winger - even after he had barely taken a touch of the ball at Anfield.

One fan wrote: "I have honestly never seen a player so happy and excited to play for us like Chiesa is. That passion is the best."

Another commented: "Chiesa actually hasn't stopped smiling since he joined Liverpool."

A third said: "Chiesa running up and down the field like rent is due tomorrow and he needs to get paid, love it."

And a fourth added: "Chiesa stop smiling challenge: Impossible."

The 26-year-old had a half chance late on in the first half to score his first Liverpool goal, but curled his effort over the bar.

He was substituted on 59 minutes, with Liverpool going on to win 5-1 after four second half goals.

He made his first Anfield appearance off the bench during the 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday, playing seven minutes.

And after the game, he told Liverpool's official website: "Hearing You'll Never Walk Alone for the first time from the bench, it was amazing.

Advert

"It was amazing also against Nottingham Forest, but unfortunately we lost. But today was really amazing. I enjoyed every bit of it.

"Today, I just had to be ready [to play], and when the coach told me to get in the game I was so happy and relieved because I wanted to play here at Anfield."
