Federico Chiesa is yet to prove his doubters wrong.

He is not only known for his attacking instincts, but the player also possesses defensive capabilities too. Florentina has often fielded a 3-5-2 formation in which the player has operated as a right-sided forward.
Federico Chiesa has accounted for 1.3 tackles and 1.2 dribbles per game for Florentina, compared to that of Sancho’s 0.5 dribbles and 0.4 tackles per game.
With Manchester United struggling to sign Sancho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should opt for Federico as he is financially viable. Federico Chiesa has a market value of €48 million, a fee a lot less than that of Jadon Sancho.
