Federico Chiesa, one of Roma’s top targets for the summer, spoke highly of Paulo Dybala.

In a recent interview with France Football, Chiesa spoke very well of his former teammate at Juventus.

While discussing the best footballers he’s ever played with, Chiesa did not forget to mention Roma’s number 21.

“I really like playing with Vlahovic, he is an exceptional player and a great friend,” said the Italian winger.

“I enjoyed playing with Ronaldo, Dybala, Muriel, Saponara and Ilicic,” he added. “And then Franck Ribery: my goodness, what a player. And then he is also a great locker room man, always happy and smiling, with enormous mental strength.”

“He was at the end of his career at Fiorentina, but he really impressed me. Technically, in terms of dribbling, he and Paulo Dybala are the strongest I have ever seen with my eyes.”

“The injury slowed down my career, but it taught me a lot. Before I was probably a more instinctive, more impulsive player, and maybe my game has changed a little, but not my speed. Now I’m back very close to the level I was at before the injury.”
