Everton FC 'want to sign £53m Italy striker'

Everton want to sign Torino striker Andrea Belotti at the end of the season.

Inter and Roma also reportedly want Belotti, but Carlo Ancelotti is allegedly willing to pay €60m (£53m) to bring the player to Goodison Park according to Tuttomercatoweb, via HITC.

Ancelotti knows all about Belotti’s qualities from his time in Serie A, and the 26-year-old has been in great form this season.

With 15 goals in 31 games this season, Belotti looks certain to be in Italy’s squad for the European Championships this summer - if they take place, at least.

A summer move may also be on the cards for Belotti, who probably needs to leave Torino to further his career having spent five years with the Turin side.

Belotti would be an exciting addition for Everton , but whether they actually need to spend more than £50m on a new striker is another matter.

Ancelotti already has Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin forming a strong partnership in attack, whilst he also needs to try and develop youngster Moise Kean too.

Adding a big-money addition into the mix may leave Ancelotti with a lot to juggle in attack, and with issues in the middle of the park, at centre back and on the right flank, the money may be better spent in those areas.
