Chelsea and Monaco target Andrea Belotti shows why he is valued at £90m with stunning strike for Torino

  • Torino saw off Sassuolo 3-0 in Serie A, with Andre Belotti scoring a bicycle kick
  • The striker is wanted by Chelsea and Monaco but the asking price is very high 
  • Torino would want around £90million for their star striker this summer 

Andrea Belotti kept himself in the shop window ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline by scoring an acrobatic opener in Torino's 3-0 home victory over Sassuolo.

The Italy striker, who scored 26 Serie A goals for Torino last season, is a reported target of Chelsea and Monaco but his  £90million asking price is a sticking point for potential suitors.

He reminded any scouts in attendance at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday of his ability with a bicycle kick that powered Lorenzo De Silvestri's cross home for a 45th-minute opener and Torino wrapped up the three points with late goals from Adem Ljajic and Joel Obi.

For the second week running VAR served to frustrate Torino. 


Referee Paolo Mazzoleni whistled for a penalty when Paolo Cannavaro fouled Iago Falque in the Sassuolo box but the video assistant overturned the call.

VAR also denied Torino what they considered a legitimate goal by Alex Berenguer in last Sunday's 1-1 draw at Bologna.
