Chiesa has a lot of potential, as he has shown for most of his time at Juve, but one problem for him is maintaining his fitness and consistent performance.

Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Jacobo are all regulars for the slot, while he also has the likes of Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota in that area of the pitch.
