Chelsea face competition for Torino striker Andrea Belotti?

Chelsea will reportedly have to see off competition from a number of clubs if they are to sign Lazio's Andrea Belotti this summer.

The Blues have been tipped to move for the 32-cap Italy international in their search for a new striker.

Belotti, who has 12 goals and five assists in Serie A this term, is under contract with Lazio until the end of next season.

However, Tuttosport claims that, should Chelsea wish to bring in the 27-year-old to lead their attack, they will first have to persuade him to join.

It is suggested that domestic rivals Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also looking at Belotti, while Inter Milan are one of a number of interested Italian clubs.

Belotti has spent the past six years at the Stadio Olimpico, making 220 appearances for Torino in all competitions.
