Torino forward Andrea Belotti is a better striker than Gabriel Batistuta, according to Fabio Capello.
Belotti is the joint-top scorer in Serie A with 23 goals this season and has been heavily linked with moves to Chelsea, as well as Manchester United and Arsenal.
The Italy international has a €100 million (£86.6m) release clause in his current deal with Torino, and the club are adamant that it must be met in order for a transfer to happen this summer.
But should he make the move, Capello believes a team will be signing one of the best on the continent.
‘He is one of the best strikers in Europe,’ the former England boss told Radio Anch’io Sport.
‘He knows how to move and can do everything.
‘He is fast and powerful, and technically perhaps he is even better than Batistuta.’
