Chelsea boss Conte turns to £90M Torino striker Belotti

Chelsea are lining up a bid for Torino striker Andrea Belotti.

The Mirror says Chelsea will move for Belotti after seeing Manchester United complete their deal for Romelu Lukaku.

The Premier League champions will have to pay around £90million for the 23-year-old who netted 32 times for club and country last season.

Blues boss Antonio Conte, who raised doubts about his own position soon after winning the title, is said to be fuming over the debacle.

Especially as Lukaku is understood to have been made aware of the way in which the Italian intended to use him as a Chelsea player next season.

Chelsea have other striking options, among them Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez and Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata.
