Manchester United are ready to pay £64m for Andrea Belotti... but can they beat Chelsea to sign a hot property who is 'better than Batistuta' and has learned from Premier League greats?

Andrea Belotti has a tattoo on his arm that perhaps sums up just why this young Italian has become the most sought-after striker in Europe.

‘Limits, like fears, are often just illusions,’ reads the Michael Jordan-inspired inking of a driven and ambitious 23-year-old with 25 goals for Torino in Serie A this season.

As he has plundered goal after goal, more and more scouts have descended upon the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino to check in on Belotti — it is little wonder they have been impressed.
