Andrea Belotti

The Italian striker had a breakthrough season last year and was one of the hottest properties on the market during the course of last season.  He’s a phenomenal talent and could wonders for Chelsea in either a two striker system or as an alternative to Alvaro Morata.

Belotti plays as if he was fired out of a cannon.  His style of play is exactly the type that the Premier League was built for and if Chelsea can it would be fantastic for them.

One of the things that people complain about with Michy Batshuayi is that his physical and hold up play is terrible.  Belotti is the opposite he’s an aggressive and physical striker and exactly the sort of player that Chelsea could use.  Simply his fire and passion for winning would be an extra bonus to this Chelsea squad.

He may however be far too expensive and unwilling to play as a back up to new recruit Alvaro Morata.
