Christopher SimpsonNov 17, 2016

Arsenal are monitoring FC Nordsjaelland starlet Marcus Ingvartsen, a striker who has been nicknamed the "Danish Inzaghi."

That's according to Claudio Colla of Transfermarketweb, who added Juventus, Everton and several other European clubs to his list of admirers.

Nicknamed after former Italy and AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi, Ingvartsen is enjoying an excellent campaign, as revealed by Danish football analyst Tom Sanders:

That tally comes in 16 league games, and the 20-year-old has also provided three assists in that time, too.

Ingvartsen is yet to make his debut for Denmark's senior side, but he has netted eight goals in as many games for their under-21s.

The youngster is a composed finisher who possesses both aerial prowess and neat footwork on the ground.

Here's a selection of his highlights from the current campaign:

His performances have warranted attention from a number of clubs, and Arsenal are likely keep a keen eye on his progress for the remainder of the season.

Meanwhile, according to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football Italia), Torino are set to hand Andrea Belotti a new deal worth €1.5 million per season—a €600,000 annual pay-rise—as they bid to fend off interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.

Ugo Trani of Italian outlet Il Messaggero (h/t Jamie Styles of the Daily Star) reported Arsenal to be one of his admirers, while Gazzetta said the Gunners failed with a €35 million bid for him in the summer.

Bleacher Report UK's Adam Digby remarked on Belotti's sensational calendar year:

Indeed, after bagging 11 goals at the back end of last season, he has enjoyed an excellent start to the current campaign, per UEFA Euro:

The 22-year-old has real potential if he can sustain this kind of form, and Torino are seemingly well aware of the offers he might attract—his new contract would reportedly include a release clause of €50 million.

Parting with that much would be a hefty gamble at this stage, but if he can continue the impressive development he's made in the last 12 months, it may not be too long before clubs are willing to pay it for him.
