West Ham United are allegedly serious about signing the Torino hitman.
According to a report from Italian media outlet Tuttosport, West Ham are serious about signing Torino hitman Andrea Belotti this month, with the newspaper reporting that the Hammers’ interest in the striker is ‘no joke’.
Cuoretoro claimed earlier this month that the east London outfit were prepared to pay around £44 million for the Italian, and now the more respected Tuttosport seems to have backed that up.
The Hammers are in real need of another top class striker, regardless of whether Marko Arnutovic ends up staying at the London Stadium or not.
And Belotti would be just the ticket.
Tuttosport claims that West Ham are serious about signing Belotti, although they are yet to meet Torino’s €45 million (£39.1 million) asking price for the forward.
The report suggests that should the east London outfit come in with a concrete offer for the 25-year-old over the next week, they have every chance of prising him away from Turin.
Belotti really is a top class striker, and in today’s day and age, £39.1 million could end up looking like an absolute steal for West Ham.
