Andrea Belotti was mobbed by 2,500 Torino fans at their club shop on Thursday, and the striker says he will “repay all this affection” on the pitch.

Having also been presented a crystal rooster by someone in a chicken costume to commemorate his 25 goals this season and nickname, ‘Il Gallo’ – literally translating to rooster, Belotti admitted he felt honoured and even more motivated to succeed with Torino.

“For me, it’s a great feeling,” he told Torino Channel.
