Transfer news: Torino striker Andrea Belotti one of world's most wanted players as Manchester City join 'Rooster' chase

The 23-year-old added to his burgeoning reputation as one of Europe's most lethal strikers with an eight-minute hat-trick in Torino's 3-1 win over Palermo at the weekend.

It led to suggestions from Torino president Urbano Cairo that Belotti, who has 22 goals in 24 Serie A games this term, is now worth €150m (£130m).

However, with his release clause set at £86m, any club can sign him if they are ready to stump up that huge fee in the summer.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked with him for the past year now, with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also very keen on the forward.
