Liverpool have enjoyed a brilliant start to the season in the Premier League and Champions League.
The Reds are sitting at the top of both leagues and challenging comfortably on all fronts.
The arrival of new manager Arne Slot has made them forget the days of Jurgen Klopp and given them hope of a bright future.
The Dutch coach has managed to turn the club’s fortunes around and has brought out the best in players who have underperformed in the past.
The likes of Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate have revived their Anfield careers under the new manager.
Reports have linked new signing Federico Chiesa with an early exit from the club, but journalist Florian Plettenberg has denied these claims.
Plettenberg has reported that the Liverpool star has no plans to leave the club and is looking to prove himself in the Premier League.
The journalist wrote to X:
“Understand that Federico Chiesa currently has no plans to leave Liverpool in the winter. A loan move is also not an option at this stage. The 27-year-old wants to stay and prove himself. So far, he has only played 78 minutes this season. Contract until 2028.”

Federico Chiesa is determined to prove himself at Liverpool
Chiesa joined the Reds from Juventus in the summer transfer window but has failed to break into the Premier League.
The Italian striker has struggled with fitness issues and Slot believes the lack of a proper pre-season has worked against the Italian star.
It’s still early days in Chiesa’s Liverpool career and the season is long. His services will be needed at Liverpool at some point when the team suffers from an injury problem or when some of the players need to be rested or rotated.
