Top 5 strikers on the market and their ideal destinations

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang transfer
Aubameyang was the Bundesliga's top goalscorer last season

3) Andrea Belotti

Andrea Belotti transfer
Belotti had his breakthrough season in Serie A in 2016/17

Serie A looked on in wonder as a young striker tore open defences with his power, aerial superiority and clinical finishing. While fans outside Europe took a fleeting interest in Torino because of Joe Hart's loan move, they continued following the club's progress because of a 23-year-old striker.

Andrea Belotti made a statement last season: Italian strikers could thrive once again in Serie A. Not since the hey days of Francesco Totti, Luca Toni and Antonio Di Natale has an Italian striker taken the league by storm.

Belotti finished with 26 goals and 7 assists in the league playing in his preferred no.9 role. So which club is he best suited to? Chelsea.

Antonio Conte desperately needs a striker and, while Sergio Aguero has been linked with a switch, Belotti would prove to be a masterstroke thanks to his age and potential.

Aguero is 29. Belotti has a good six years on him and also contributes to the cause with a high defensive work rate that is a manager's dream. Not to mention his linkup play which would bring out the best in the wide forwards in Conte's 3-4-3 formation.

Could he survive the physicality of the Premier League? Definitely. Nobody else scored more headed goals even though he's barely six feet tall!
