Chelsea join Belotti chase

Chelsea have become the latest club to be linked with reported Liverpool and Arsenal target Andrea Belotti. The striker currently plys his trade for Italian club Torino.

Belotti has been in fine form for the Turin side this season, netting five goals in as many league outings.

According to The Star, the Blues have joined the pursuit for the Italy international after Antonio Conte gave the green light to bring in a new striker.

The Blues did manage to recruit Michy Batshuayi from Marseille over the summer, but this has not deterred the manager from lining up a bid for his fellow countrymate.

Meanwhile, Torino are looking to offer an improved contract to Belotti as they seek to end constant speculation over his future.

The Serie A outfit will table a fresh five-year deal with a buy-out clause of around £50m likely to be inserted into his contract.
