4. Andrea Belotti

The Torino striker has scored a mouth-watering 24 goals in the Serie A in 28 appearances.

He is the joint leading goal scorer in the Serie A with Edin Dzeko.

Also 23-years-old he’s another good young option for Chelsea FC if they fail to land Lukaku.

It’s reported recently that Chelsea have had a £85m bid rejected (including add-ons) for the striker. Torino are holding out for the full £85m release clause being met with cash up front.

Belotti has scored more goals than £75m Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain who is 29-years-old. So expect a bid of up to £100m for the Torino striker given his age and his goal-scoring record.

It’s believed Belotti will move in the summer to a bigger club and Chelsea are keeping tabs on the Italian ace.

Belotti has all the physical attributes to replace Diego Costa as he’s fast, good in the air (even better than Costa in the air as he can’t header) and he’s young.

He’s also Italian which Conte would like as he has been looking for Serie A players to join him at Chelsea.
