AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho admits he's hoping to see Andrea Belotti signed.

The former Torino striker is in talks about a Bosman move to Roma.

Mourinho said: "Belotti? I do not answer, because the director Tiago Pinto already knows.

"I just have to wait with the hope that it can be done, if it cannot be done we will go on with what we have. If Belotti were a player of Torino or of another team I would not answer.

"Being free, I don't have the ethical block of not saying anything, I can say something. If it is true, I repeat if it is true, that he wants to come to Roma so much, I would be happy to hear this kind of feeling.

"If it comes or it doesn't come I don't know, let's wait and see."
