Belotti is a player that has been linked to the Blues for a while. Nicknamed Il Gallo (The Rooster) due to his antics whenever he scores, Belotti was seen as the future of the Italian national team; Gli Azzurri (The Blues). However, a run of serious injuries in the last two seasons has severely affected his development.

A prolific goalscorer, he is capable of scoring with both feet. He is also very fast, a hard worker and possesses a natural poacher’s instinct for knowing where the goal is. Belotti had started his career as a winger so he would find it easy to fit into Sarri's preferred 4-3-3 formation.

A technically adept player who has a good engine, he would be able to play well with the likes of Hazard and Pedro as his passing, dribbling, and movement would be of great value in the fluid, quick-passing system that Sarri favours.

The manager will be well aware of the Torino captain's quality given his Serie A experience. It is unclear how much Torino will demand with president Urbano Cairo having said before that he will not accept any amount less than €100m for the 24-year-old.
