The Stormers are reportedly eager to secure the services of a seasoned Argentina international to beef the Cape outfit’s front-row stocks.
Newcastle tighthead prop Eduardo Bello is on the Stormers shopping list as director of rugby John Dobson seeks reinforcements, according to Rapport.
Dobson’s reported interest in Bello suggests concerns over Neethling Fouche’s potential Springbok commitments and uncertainty surrounding Frans Malherbe’s niggling back injury.

Capped 26 times for the Pumas, the 29-year-old Bello would add to the confirmed signings of Boks Ntuthuko Mchunu and Cobus Reinach next season.
It is also understood the Stormers have retained centre Wandisile Simelane on a one-year extension, ending speculation about his future.
