West Ham are reportedly looking to get a deal for Torino striker Andrea Belotti ‘back on track’ following heightened speculation.
The 28-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the Hammers during the summer but remained as club captain in Italy instead.
Now, amidst reports claiming that the frontman has rejected moves elsewhere, Irons’ insiders Westhamfans.org have claimed that the East London club are set to reignite their pursuit.
West Ham target Andrea Belotti has snubbed lucrative moves to both Newcastle and Al Hilal this month.
However the 28 year old is still receiving interest from MLS side Toronto FC.

The report claims that the 41-cap Italy star is a ‘principal striker target’ and West Ham may look to strike a pre-contract deal this month.
This season Belotti has scored twice and provided one assist in 10 appearances across all competitions having missed 17 games through injury.

Valued at £25.2million and out of contract in the summer (Transfermarkt), signing the Italian for free would be excellent business despite the recent fitness issues.
Belotti has amassed 152 career goals in 377 outings and has previously enjoyed a relatively clean bill of health.
Albeit Irons’ boss, David Moyes will still require an immediate solution to the lack of competition in the striker department, lining the powerful frontman up for a summer arrival would remain a smart move.
