‘To be honest, no (I don’t feel I am worth it),’ Belotti told Mediaset.

‘But given the way the transfer market has developed, increasingly ridiculous sums are being spent.

‘The cost of players has gone up far too much.’

Arsenal are also said to be nursing the idea of moving for the Torino forward next summer as Arsene Wenger is said to be a keen admirer of the Italian’s qualities.

It is also understood that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is ready to break the bank to lure him to the Stamford Bridge as he views Belotti as viable replacement for Diego Costa who might Chelsea next summer.
