3 massive January deals Liverpool missed out on

Andrea Belotti

Reports have suggested that both Arsenal and Chelsea attempted to bring Torino striker Andrea Belotti to England in January.

The Gunners failed with a £56 million bid at the start of the month, while the Blues had a director in Italy on deadline day to complete a deal for the in-form forward, although both came to nothing.

Liverpool were also thought to be monitoring Belotti’s form in Serie A, especially with Daniel Sturridge’s future at Anfield far from certain, yet the Reds did not get a deal done for a striker who has scored 14 goals in just 19 league games this season.

Belotti has already beaten his best-ever goal-scoring season this term, and with three goals in just five appearances for Italy last year, he is clearly a player with huge potential and bright future in the game.

At the age of 23, he would have been perfect for Liverpool both in the present, and indeed for the future.
