# West Ham’s Belotti interest described as ‘concrete’

West Ham’s interest in Italian striker Andrea Belotti has been described as ‘concrete’.

[According to Tuttosport, as cited on Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/andrea-belotti-west-ham/), the Hammers are keen to sign the player this month, as they continue to plan for the possible departure of Marko Arnautovic.

West Ham have been [heavily linked](https://readwestham.com/2019/01/18/west-ham-have-offer-for-belotti-rejected/) with a move to sign Belotti in recent days, but claims that the Hammers could bring him to the Premier League had been laughed off.

Belotti was [linked](https://readchelsea.com/2017/11/15/chelsea-in-battle-with-man-united-and-real-for-belotti/) with big-money moves to the likes of Chelsea and Milan not too long ago, raising questions over West Ham’s chances of securing a deal.

After a stunning 2016-17 season, where Belotti scored 28 goals in all competitions, he has been unable to hit that level of form on a consistent basis.

Arnautovic continues to be linked with a transfer to China and his apparent want to complete a move away from the London Stadium has left West Ham scrambling to find a replacement.
