Arsenal and Chelsea target Andrea Belotti now worth £130m, says Torino president after eight-minute hat-trick

Torino president Urbano Cairo believes Chelsea and Arsenal target Andrea Belotti is now worth £130million.

The striker scored a hat-trick in the space of eight minutes - the fourth-fastest in Serie A history - as Torino beat Palermo 3-1 on Sunday, taking his tally to 22 goals in 24 league games.

Belotti has a release clause of £86m and his scoring form has attracted interest from the Premier League giants - but they might now have to pay a little more.

The hotshot striker has attracted interest from Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea

Cairo told Sky Sport Italia: 'We set Belotti's clause and it's true that we would be forced to sell him abroad for that sum if he agreed to the move.

'However, in Italy I still have the right to refuse all offers, or the player could decide not to leave even if there are offers above 100m euros (£86m).

'I don't think we can raise the clause now, as we only just signed the contract. Of course, if I was negotiating it today, it should be 150m euros (£130m).

'The idea of the clause came to me after he scored against Roma in our home game. At 100m euros you sell players like Paul Pogba, Gonzalo Higuain and Gareth Bale.
