Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola is urging Torino striker Andrea Belotti to push for a move to London.

Belotti has been linked with a move to Chelsea, though their deal for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is likely to shut down the Blues as an option.

Zola told Sky Italia: "I do not see how it can be negative for Belotti to play abroad before the World Cup.

"Asked who could replace Diego Costa at Chelsea, I have said Belotti because he has similar characteristics to Spanish.

"Playing in another league can help him grow further and we are already talking about a great player."
