London rivals battle for Andrea Belotti

28 May 2017 - 06:25

Premier League duo Chelsea and Arsenal could reportedly go head-to-head in the race to sign Torino marksman Andrea Belotti in the summer.

  • Chelsea favourites to sign £80m Premier League star
  • Arsenal expected to sign Saint-Etienne striker?

  • The Italy international has had a top season with the Turin-based club after having netted 27 goals in just 32 appearances in all competitions.

    As a result, his interest has heightened among the Europe's elite, although he has a hefty £85m release clause on his contract.

    According to The Sun, the Blues and the Gunners are among the key admirers of the Torino striker, who has been tipped for a big-club move this summer.

    Toro chairman Urbano Cairo has already admitted that the 23-year-old could pursue a fresh move abroad with Europa League holders Manchester United also earmarked as a potential destination for the forward.

    Sporting director Gianluca Petrachi previously alleged the Gunners to have failed with a £56m approach for Belotti in January, but manager Arsene Wenger was quick to dismiss the speculation.

    Belotti has already made a huge impression with the Italian national side after having notched three goals in his first seven caps.
