AC Milan target Belotti earns Shevchenko comparison from Gattuso

The Italy international has the quality and mentality to recover from a difficult year with Torino, according to man who worked with him at Palermo

Gennaro Gattuso has backed Torino forward Andrea Belotti to bounce back from a difficult season with club and country, with comparisons made to AC Milan legend Andriy Shevchenko.

Belotti was one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe after starring in Serie A with 26 goals last season, but he has struggled to repeat that form, netting only nine league goals this term and failing to fire Italy to the World Cup.
