Premier League trio West Ham, Everton and Newcastle have all been offered the chance to sign Italy striker Andrea Belotti this summer, according to reports.

The Euro 2020 winner is a free agent after running down his contract with Serie A side Torino at the end of last season.

Belotti, who spent seven years at the Turin club, was offered a new contract by the Serie A club, but he rejected a new deal with the Italian side as he seeks a move elsewhere.

And now according to a report by The Sun, Belotti’s agent have offered Newcastle, Everton and West Ham the chance to sign the 28-year-old on a free transfer. 

Belotti scored 12 goals in 44 caps for Italy and was a member of the squad that lifted the European Championship last summer. He also scored 100 times in 232 appearances for Torino but is now hoping to test himself in the Premier League.

Newcastle are interested in signing a striker this summer after missing out on Hugo Ekitike. Manager Eddie Howe wants to add another striker to his squad as he is currently heading into the new campaign with just the injury-prone Callum Wilson and inconsistent Chris Wood to call upon for forward options.

Since joining from Bournemouth, Wilson has endured a torrid time with injuries in the North East, making just 18 top-flight appearances last term. 

Everton could also consider a deal for the Belotti after losing their main attacker Richarlison to Tottenham this summer.

Frank Lampard’s side have struggled for goals and will be tempted to add Belotti to their forward options as they look to avoid another relegation battle next season.

Meanwhile, West Ham might also be tempted to make an offer to capture the services of the 28-year-old.

The Hammers are looking for a backup striker for Michail Antonio. They have been linked with a move for fellow Italy striker Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo, but might consider Belotti given that he will come cheaper.
