The 27-year-old has so far managed just three appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool since signing from the Italian giants in the summer transfer window, as a muscle injury and a lack of match fitness have kept Chiesa firmly rooted to the sidelines.

Although debutant Romain Esse scored for Crystal Palace with his first touch of the ball, in a 2-1 defeat to Brentford this weekend, the new signing’s strike brought to mind the failure of a few of the Eagles’ most recent acquisitions. Cameo appearances from summer transfers Eddie Nketiah and Daichi Kamada highlighted the rather catastrophic state of Oliver Glasner’s summer recruitment, with both players being awarded less than 20 minutes on the pitch.

Probably not the headline that most people would have expected, but when conducting a deep dive into some of the Premier League’s shooting statistics from the current campaign, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo appears to be the division’s most clinical finisher.

Sat in third place with 20 points from their opening 11 fixtures, it would be fair to say Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille have not had a bad start to their Ligue 1 campaign. However, after a 3-1 home loss to newly promoted Auxerre, potential cracks have begun to show for the Italian. 3-0 down at half-time despite having 74% possession after 90 minutes, Marseille’s loss to Auxerre could not really have been more disastrous.
