According to Corriere Granada, Tottenham, Everton and West Ham are all chasing Torino forward Andrea Belotti.

The Serie A side are working hard to tie the 32-cap Italy international down to a new contract, amid interest in his services.

Corriere Granada claim that Torino plan to offer Belotti an increase on his €2 million-a-year (£1.7 million-a-year) wages, which would see them rise to £3 million-a-year (£2.6 million-a-year).

Currently, his £1.7 million-a-year salary sees him earn £32,692-a-week.

However, Corriere Granada claim that Tottenham, West Ham and Everton can all offer Belotti a higher salary, adding an interesting dimension to the transfer saga.

You can see why Torino are keen to keep him.

The 27-year-old has scored 11 goals in 25 Serie A games this season, taking his tally for the club to 103 goals in 218 games.

You might be wondering what type of player Belotti is.

Well, in a feature on the Italian, Sky Sports wrote that he provides ‘echoes of Jamie Vardy’ – a very big compliment indeed.

The Leicester forward is arguably one of Europe’s best forwards, even at 34 years of age, having scored 14 goals in 31 games this season, along with seven assists.

In total, he has 144 goals in 341 games for Leicester.

If Belotti is anything like Vardy, Tottenham, West Ham or Everton could soon have a lethal frontman on their hands.
