The notorious Italian has reportedly been offered to West Ham United.
West Ham United fans on Twitter are firmly behind the rumour regarding Mario Balotelli.
According to The Telegraph, the notorious Italian hitman, available as a free agent, has been offered to Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
West Ham are in dire need of a striker after losing Marko Arnautovic in recent days.
The likes of Maxi Gomez and Salomon Rondon are heavily linked, but speculation about the former Manchester City and Inter Milan starlet could get ramped up now too.
Here’s how Hammers fans reacted to the rumour:
The 28-year-old impressed during a six-month spell with Marseille last term, netting eight goals in 12 Ligue 1 starts.
French football appears to be a good fit for Balotelli, who scored 18 times in 28 appearances for Nice during the 2017-18 campaign.
At 28, he definitely has something to offer a club in European football, but it remains to be seen whether he can be prolific enough with West Ham in the Premier League after a failed spell with Liverpool.
