West Ham United fans divided over whether Mario Balotelli would be a good signing for them.

West Ham have been linked with the Italian international in Aspor, with the 27-year-old set to become a free agent.

Balotelli is very well known in England, after spells with both Liverpool and Manchester City.

And his enigmatic personality is sometimes a concern, as he can be so inconsistent.

Indeed there are some West Ham fans who think he could be a wonderful addition, while others feel he would be a nightmare to manage.

Balotelli has netted 22 goals in 31 appearances for Nice this season, which has sparked West Ham’s interest.

West Ham have a history of eccentric players thriving at the club, with the likes of Paulo Di Canio, Dimitri Payet and Marko Arnautovic all becoming talismanic figures for the London side.

And the hope is that if Balotelli was to arrive, his talent could make him a hero with the London Stadium crowd.
