2) Torino will face a huge battle to keep Belotti
There are plenty of English eyeballs waking up to the fact that Torino are one of the greatest clubs in Italy, thanks to Joe Hart’s move from Manchester City, coupled with UK newspapers farcically describing Torino as ‘minnows’. To thrill Mancunians with a newfound soft-spot for Il Toro, the bulls gored Bologna 5-1, courtesy of a first career hat-trick from Andrea Belotti.
The 22-year-old continued his great start to the season with a typically virtuoso display, with some smart positioning and finishing taking his goal tally to 4 goals for the season. ’Gallo’ can perform his rooster-inspired celebration in Italian colours now, with Azzurri boss Giampiero Ventura giving him a deserving call up.
Torino are blessed with young talent throughout the squad and under the guidance of Sinisa Mihajlovic could even challenge for the Champions League spots, especially given the Milanese clubs struggles so far. However, their success could backfire, as the world wakes up to Belotti’s status as the best Italian striker currently.
Expect a massive bid in January.
