Torino Confirm Mega Money Offer From Arsenal For Star Player

Despite Olivier Giroud's recent return to form for Arsenal, it appears that Arsene Wenger is in the market for another striker.

News is emanating from Italy claiming that the Gunners have made a club record offer of £56m for Torino striker Andrea Belotti.

Speaking to Sky Italia after today's 0-0 away draw with Sassuolo, 'Il Toro' manager Gianluca Petrachi confirmed that the Granata have turned down Arsenal's bid for their star striker, who has been on fire this season, scoring 14 goals in 18 games.

Speaking of the decision to turn down Arsenal's monster offer, Petrachi explained, "The offer does not reflect the value of Belotti".

The 23-year-old Belotti has also broke into the Italian national team recently, continuing his fine domestic form at international level with three goals in five caps for the Azzurri.
