West Ham United do not think that Arsenal target Andrea Belotti will join them, according to Eurosport.
What’s the story?
Eurosport are reporting that West Ham are interested in signing Belotti from Torino.
The Italy international striker is out of contract at Torino at the end of the season.
The Hammers want to sign the 27-year-old in the January transfer window.
However, according to the report, West Ham feel that the Euro 2020 winner with Italy ‘would probably not prioritise them as his next club’.
Could Andrea Belotti join Arsenal?
This latest report in Eurosport is a boost for Arsenal in their quest to bring the Italy international striker to the Emirates Stadium.
According to Torino Granata in October, Arsenal are among the clubs interested in the former Palermo striker.
That report claimed that the Turin club are open to selling Belotti in the January transfer window.
If the Gunners make a suitable offer, then a move could well happen.
Legendary Italian coach Fabio Capello rates the striker highly, and was quoted as saying by Goal in 2017: “Belotti is one of the best strikers in Europe.
“He knows how to move, he basically knows how to do everything. He’s fast, technically skilled and is probably better than Batistuta.”
The Torino no. 9 has scored two goals in two Serie A starts so far this season.
The striker scored 13 goals in the league last season, 16 in 2019-20, and 15 in 2018-19.
