English Premier League: Chelsea Better pursue Belotti than Morata

The legendary Chelsea striker Gianfranco Zola suggested the Blues to buy Andrea Belotti (Torino) rather than Alvaro Morata (Real Madrid). In the eyes of Zola, Belotti is more suited to the style of play Chelsea.

Belotti itself appear very impressive in Serie A season 2016-2017. He became the top scorer for Granata with a score of 26 goals and has packed four goals in nine caps with the Italian national team.

Chelsea do need a new striker next season. Therefore, the Blues will release Diego Costa in this transfer market. The Spaniard is likely to be released to Atletico Madrid or Tianjin Quanjian

"To be honest, I think Chelsea should pursue Andrea Belotti in Italy. I think, considering the type of quality that Costa has, Belotti is very compatible with Chelsea, "Zola told talkSPORT.

"Morata is a bit different, he's more of a clever player. He does not like Costa inside the penalty box. He's a different player, he brings another quality. "

"Costa was very influential last season, he's the type of player that matches the style of football at Chelsea, and finding a replacement like that would be key for Chelsea," Zola added.

Torino himself did not mind removing Belotti. However, the price they set very high ie 100 million euros.
