Premier League giants Chelsea are now reportedly
interested in signing Torino striker Andrea Belotti following the
refusal of Spanish striker Diego Costa to resume training.
Since
last season, Chelsea coach Antonio Conte and striker Diego Costa have
not been in good terms and the striker also claimed that the Italian
tactician has told him to leave the club.
The
Blues however told Costa to resume training on Tuesday, August 15, but
he refused claiming he wants a move back to Spanish club Atletico
Madrid.

Antonio
Conte is now frustrated with the latest development about Diego Costa
who is currently in Brazil, and he has told the club to sign Andre
Belotti from Torino.
According to the report,
the 23-year-old forward has also agreed that he will join Chelsea, and
negotiation has reportedly began between Chelsea chiefs and Torino.
Belotti
was in good form last season in Italy scoring 26 League goals and he is
expected to compete with Alvaro Morata for the starting line up should a
deal work out before the close of the transfer window.
