English giants Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly interested in Serie A sensation Andrea Belotti and according to reports in news outlet The Sun, they are ready to do the battle to secure the signing of the player.
According to reports in Italy, the Torino striker has garnered attention from several Premier League clubs after an impressive display in the last season where he found the back of the net on 12 occasions. And his brilliant start to the new season is bound to make the clubs more interested in the highly-rated striker. The Italy international has already scored four goals in only three games.
Reports also suggest that Arsenal boss even made an enquiry for the striker during the summer. The Gunners boss was desperate to bolster his attack during the summer and after being linked with several players, he finally signed Lucas Perez from La Liga outfit Deportivo La Coruna. The Spanish footballer has been signed as a back-up for first choice striker Olivier Giroud, but another striker, Danny Welbeck’s continuous injury problems are a worrying factor for the North London club. With the club fighting for four titles this term, they will surely like to keep a strong bench strength.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are currently having plenty of options in their attack but Daniel Sturridge has still not settled completely under Jurgen Klopp and so the Reds are on the look- out for another striker.
Meanwhile, Italian news outlet Calciomercato has reported that Torino are desperate to keep their asset at the club and so only some special deal will see the player making his way out of the club.
