According to Tuttosport, Arsenal have registered their interest in signing Torino striker Andrea Belotti this summer.

The Gunners may end up selling Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah this summer given that both players have just a year left on their contracts.

If that happens, Arsenal will need to find another striker – and that’s where Italian ace Belotti could end up coming in.

Arsenal’s interest in Belotti

It’s stated that Arsenal have now come forward as a potential destination for Belotti, joining a crowded race for his signature.

AC Milan, Roma, Fiorentina and Napoli are all thought to be keen on Belotti, with a €34million (£29million) asking price on his head.

The Daily Mail reported last month that Belotti has actually been offered to Arsenal’s rivals Tottenham Hotspur as a potential replacement for Harry Kane.

How did Belotti perform last season?

Belotti hit 13 goals and seven assists in Serie A last season, landing himself in Italy’s Euro 2020 squad in the process.

The 27-year-old now has 92 goals in 210 Serie A games for Torino, and it may now be time for him to move on for a new challenge.

Arsenal could be his next destination, and whilst fans would love Alexander Isak to come in, Belotti is now another name to keep an eye on.
