West Ham United face a battle for striker Andrea Belotti.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, La Liga trio Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia are rivalling West Ham United for Torino striker Andrea Belotti.
Belotti, 25, rose to prominence in the 2016-17 season with 28 goals in 38 games, attracting huge interest in the process.
The Italian didn’t hit the same heights last season with just 13 goals, and has scored seven times in 20 Serie A games this term, leaving many to think that his 2016-17 season was something of an anomaly.
That hasn’t stopped interest in his signature though. Cuoretoro reported just days ago that West Ham want Belotti, and are ready to offer a huge €50million (£45million) deal for him.
West Ham are eyeing up big-money strikers in case Marko Arnautovic leaves the club, though their need for another striker anyway may just lead them to splash the cash regardless of Arnautovic’s future.
If they want Belotti though, they may have to work hard, as Tuttomercatoweb claim that Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia are also looking to sign him.
Atletico’s interest may have waned given that they’re signing Chelsea hitman Alvaro Morata, so adding another striker on top of the Spaniard would be a shock.
Sevilla and Valencia pose real threats to West Ham, but whether they have the funds to splash £45million on one player must be in doubt, even with their standing in the European game.
