Everton are looking towards Serie A for reinforcements and according to reports in the UK, the players at the centre of their attention are Torino duo Andrea Belotti and Daniele Baselli.
 

22-year-old Italian striker Belotti has caught the eye with some scintillating performances so far this season and reports in The Sun newspaper claim that he is also wanted by Everton’s city rivals Liverpool and fellow Premier League heavyweight’s Arsenal. On-loan England goalkeeper Joe Hart has nothing but glowing praise for his teammate and despite claims by President Urbano Cairo that the two parties are negotiating a new deal for the striker, Torino will have a real fight on their hands to keep hold of their main marksman who is valued at around £20 million.  

Baselli, who grew up in the youth academy of Atalanta, has started to establish himself as one of the best midfielders in Serie A. Toffees boss Ronald Koeman is believed to be suitably impressed too and has had the 24-year-old under intense scrutiny in recent months.
