The Torino hitman would be a useful addition for Liverpool.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will surely be keen to bolster his ranks at Anfield this summer.
The German’s goalkeeper and back four are as good as they come. His midfield options are vast, but one area where he definitely needs to strengthen is his centre-forward department.
Daniel Sturridge left on a free transfer earlier this summer, whilst Divock Origi is far too inconsistent, in spite of his Champions League heroics last season.
There is quite simply far too much pressure on Roberto Firmino to perform week-in, week-out.
And with this in mind, Liverpool should consider a move for Torino hitman Andrea Belotti.
According to the Guardian, the Italy international, 25, could be signed for around £63.1 million, and considering his age and goalscoring record, that would represent decent value for money for the Reds.
Prolific in front of goal
Belotti banged in 17 goals in 39 appearances for Torino last season, and he has scored an impressive 70 goals in 148 career outings for the Serie A outfit.
He would undoubtedly help Liverpool improve upon the potency of their play in the final third.
He’d give Klopp an entirely different option
The Italian is a different type of striker to Firmino. He is most effective when operating in and around the penalty box, whereas the Brazilian likes to drop deep and link up play between midfield and attack.
And the two could link up together to form a devastating partnership.
Klopp’s a fan
According to Calcio Mercato Web, the German wanted to sign Belotti in 2016. He is now more mature as a player, and despite the fact that his value has gone up, Liverpool should not hesitate to renew their interest in the Italian.
