Arne Slot determined to ensure Federico Chiesa gets Premier League winner's medal as Liverpool winger is given spot in squad for Chelsea game ahead of Ryan Gravenberch

Chiesa has made four Premier League appearances this season and needs one more to receive a medal, which Slot has confirmed he will make sure happens. The Italian was included in Liverpool's squad at Chelsea on Sunday to give the Reds boss the option to bring him on, with Ryan Gravenberch making way.

Slot told Sky Sports: "He's on four games and I heard in this country you need five games to get a medal. He deserves one, and will definitely be on the pitch in the next four games, if not all of the next four games."

Chiesa has struggled for game time since signing for Liverpool from Juventus last summer, playing just 12 times in all competitions. A return to Serie A this summer has been mooted.

Chiesa is also said to be a transfer target for Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce, but will be aiming to make that crucial fifth Premier League appearance for Liverpool before thinking about a move away.
