Transfer update: Chelsea look to Griezman, Grealish 'warned off' City
Chelsea are reportedly looking to bolster their attacking ranks again this summer, with Juventus winger Federico Chiesa on Thomas Tuchel's wishlist. The 23-year-old shone in Italy's Euro 2020-winning campaign and has subsequently been linked with Europe's biggest clubs.

Inside forward
Chiesa's natural position is on the wing, and whilst he's right-footed, he prefers to play on the right side of the attack.
In Tuchel's three-at-the-back system, Chiesa could feature on the right with Mason Mount or Christian Pulisic on the left and Timo Werner down the middle.
Alternatively, Werner could move to the left, and Kai Havertz could reprise his role as the central attacker.
Chiesa could also cut in from the left, though, with Havertz on the right and his German compatriot Werner upfront.

At both Fiorentina and Juventus, the Italy international has played upfront himself and could feature down the middle.
Chiesa could be winged by Havertz on the right and Mount on the left, whilst Werner could also come in over the latter.
Pulisic could also play on either side, with any combination bursting with pace, energy and youth.
Despite his uncertain future at Chelsea, Hakim Ziyech could even play on the right if Tuchel wants a left-footer cutting in.
