West Ham look to have been handed a boost in any pursuit of Torino striker Andrea Belotti.
The Hammers have been heavily linked with a move for the 27-year-old in recent weeks amidst growing uncertainty surrounding Belotti’s future in Italy.
Now it would appear that the forward has decided upon his future lying away from the Serie A club.
Reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter to quote manager Ivan Juric stating Belotti will not be extending his current deal beyond the summer of 2022.
Juric was also adamant that the 39 times capped Italy man won’t leave the club in January.
So far this season the man described as boasting an ‘incredible’ record by Paddy Kenny has scored once in five appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £31.5million (Transfermarkt), there will be a queue of clubs lining up to land Belotti for free next summer.
Strong aerially and in linking up play, the Italian would be able to operate as either a lone striker or alongside Michail Antonio.
Boasting 151 career goals, the former Palermo FC star has enjoyed a superb career culminating in a European Championship winners medal this year.
For all the aforementioned reasons, David Moyes and co should be formulating a plan in order to be at the forefront to sign Belotti.
