# West Ham United: GSB eyeing Torino star Andrea Belotti

**According to a report by Italian outlet [Corriere Granata](https://corrieregranata.it/esclusiva-cg-futuro-belotti-il-toro-aumenta-lofferta-e-spera-ma-tante-squadre-si-iscrivono-alla-corsa/), GSB and West Ham United are eyeing Torino star Andrea Belotti as the striker search brings up a new name – coming as the Serie A side wish to make a new contract offer to keep their captain.**

### GSB eyeing Belotti

The 27-year-old, who has amassed [32 caps at international level](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrea-belotti/profil/spieler/167727), is attracting interest from a plethora of Premier League sides with West Ham mentioned as one of the teams who are monitoring his situation in Turin.

Belotti has bagged 27 goals and 8 assists over the last two league seasons ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/112272/History/Andrea-Belotti)), with manager David Moyes said to be prioritising a permanent deal for Jesse Lingard alongside a new striker this summer.

The Irons have been most recently linked with the likes of Ivan Toney, Adam Armstrong, Tammy Abraham and Youssef En-Nesyri ([ExWHUemployee](https://www.patreon.com/posts/exwhuemployee-49079836?utm_medium=post_notification_email&utm_source=post_link&utm_campaign=patron_engagement&token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWRpc19rZXkiOiJpbnN0YW50LWFjY2Vzczo3M2JjNWI0Yi0wYzc3LTRhMjktYmE3Mi02MzVjYmJkZjU5ZTYifQ.X_dE9HYebEkhwoT_SQRAPUD5o_tlsM36hCBjjTffz7I)), but according to Corriere Granta, Belotti has now entered the fray as the striker hunt takes another twist.

### Transfer Tavern take

A proficient goal scorer and threat in the final third, averaging more shots per 90 ([3.4](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/112272/History/Andrea-Belotti)) than any West Ham player in the league this season ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham)), it is understandable why GSB and co are monitoring his situation.

Moreno Longo, who briefly took charge of Torino last season, lauded Belotti as an ‘extraordinary striker’ (via [Football Italia](https://www.football-italia.net/155760/longo-belotti-and-verdi-can-give-their-best)), but only time will tell whether West Ham can realistically land him in the summer as his club prepare a new deal offer.
