Federico Chiesa is set to be handed his Liverpool debut by Arne Slot when they take on AC Milan in the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday night.
The 26-year-old signed a four-year deal after completing his switch from Juventus for a £10m transfer fee in the summer. The Reds could pay a further £2.5m in add-ons.
The Italian attacker watched Saturday’s shock defeat to Nottingham Forest in the stands at Anfield as he has not yet been named in a matchday squad while he gets up to speed.
Speaking to the media ahead of their Champions League opener, Slot explained why he was keen to add Chiesa to his ranks.
