10 Things Liverpool Want You To Forget About Mario Balotelli

He might be the Messiah, but he's also a very naughty boy.

Liverpool are close to finalising a sensational move for AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli, with a deal to bring the 24-year-old to Anfield set to be completed in the next couple of days at most. Despite his still relatively tender years, the Italy international's career has been a fascinating one. The Reds will already be the fourth club of his career, and he has produced moments of sheer brilliance and stupidity in equal measure over the years. Away from the pitch Balotelli is never far from controversy. His unique behaviour and outgoing personality made him a fans favourite during his time with Manchester City, with tales of his odd behaviour away from football adding to his legend. Liverpool will be hoping that the former Inter Milan star has started to mature these days, both on and off pitch, and will be praying he only makes the headlines for the right reasons during his time on Merseyside. Whatever happens, you can guarantee there will never be a dull moment with him around. The Premier League is fortunate to have him back. Here are 10 Things Liverpool Want You To Forget About Mario Balotelli, as he starts another potentially unforgettable chapter in his eccentric career.
