Looking at the replies to this post, it appears that these Spurs fans are not over the moon about being linked with Belotti. They also don’t seem too confident the club will land the striker if they are indeed interested in signing him during the current transfer window.
Taking into account his impressive goalscoring record for Torino, you would think that Belotti would be a useful attacking threat for the club if he were to make the move to Spurs, though it is also understandable that they are sceptical over their team laying out such a heavy sum on the player.
