London, Oct 23(ANI): Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly eyeing Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli, who he says perfectly fits into his young team concept.
According to reports, Arsenal officials watched the 20million pound-rated Balotelli during Milan’s 5-0 win at Genoa last weekend, and they are certain to add another striker to the squad.
Though, Bordeaux’s Marouane Chamakh was Wenger’s primary summer target, but after the French club blocked his approach, Wenger is now looking at other options.
On the other hand, Balotelli is understood to be willing to consider a move to London to get more regular first-team action, The Sun reports.
In addition, Wenger is also tracking Dutch right-back Van der Wiel and Ajax’s Gregory van der Wiel. (ANI)
