But this situation does not have to be a problem. Frederick Church He is a very versatile player, who is also capable of playing on the right wing. Tottenham could therefore field Son on the left wing in the same attacking line; Timo Werner, as a centre forward and Frederick Churchas right winger.

This is not the only possible combination, since Heung-min Son He can also play as a centre forward, which would allow Chiesa to establish himself in his natural position, but would remove him from the starting eleven. Timo Werner. Notably Both Chiesa and Son can play as attacking midfielders, so Werner would keep his place. and it would be James Maddison the one that would fall out of the lineup.
Chelsea on the prowl:
Within the same city of London there is another club that is also interested in signing Chiesa. Although it has not been mentioned with such force, Chelsea are keeping an eye on the market and are not ruling out signing the Italian winger.
At Chelsea it seems that the left wing position is well covered. They have the presence of Mudrykwhat He has been gradually gaining ownership until leaving no room for Raheem Sterling, the other left winger in the team.
