Inter sold Belgium international Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea this month, and the Italian champions could do with a replacement striker.

The Serie A giants now also have the money to invest in a new striker, if they wish to.

This means that Inter are in a better position that Arsenal to sign Belotti.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun are the four strikers at Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s disposal.

The Gunners are simply not going to add a fifth one, unless they offload one or two.

Belotti is a very good striker who has done extremely well in Serie A.

The Euro 2020 winner with Italy scored 13 goals and gave six assists in 33 Serie A starts for Torino last season.

In 2019-20, Belotti scored 16 goals and gave three assists in the league, and in 2018-19, he found the back of the net 15 times and provided three assists in the league.
