Arsenal have been linked with a move for Belotti, but Liverpool are hoping to pip their Premier League rivals to his signature and are readying a £19.5m bid for the frontman. 

 

Belotti’s contract with Torino runs until 2020, so they are under no pressure to sell at this point in time, but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has identified the striker as a man to improve his striking options.
