West Ham are believed to be weighing up a move for Torino striker Andrea Belotti.
This comes as a report from Calciomercato.com claims that the 27-year-old is contemplating a transfer in the near future having rejected a new deal to stay in Turin.
Inter Milan have reportedly met with the ace’s representatives following on from interest from the Hammers during the summer.
Now, a report from WestHamFans.org has claimed that the Irons are once again considering a ‘sensational’ offer.
Somewhat of a late bloomer at the elite level, Belotti has earned 39-caps for Italy and was an integral part of the Azzurri’s successful European Championship campaign.
This season the hardworking striker has scored once in two Serie A appearances having missed the start of the term with a tendon injury.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Signing a centre-forward to offer support to Michail Antonio remains the highest possible priority for David Moyes.
Albeit injuries are yet to curtail the 31-year-old Jamaican, West Ham have already felt Antonio’s absence in the way of a suspension.
Valued at £31.5million and rapidly approaching the final six months of a contract (Transfermarkt), landing Belotti for a bargain fee, or even for nothing, would be a huge coup.
Very much a forward in the mould of Antonio, Belotti offers a strong physical presence as well as impressive quality in front of goal.
West Ham would be wise to be at the very front of this particular queue.
