Roma coach Jose Mourinho is pushing to sign free agent Andrea Belotti.

The former Torino captain came off contract in June and is seeking a new club.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says Mourinho has long been a fan and is keen to deal in the Bosman prospect.

Mourinho tried to sign Belotti when Tottenham manager and also asked for the Italy international when taking charge of Roma last summer.

For his part, Belotti is keen on moving to the Giallorossi.
