Balotelli 'anxious' for move

Mario Balotelli is 'anxious' to complete his protracted switch from Inter Milan to Manchester City, according to his agent. Talks continue over a reported 25million move as City boss Roberto Mancini looks to be reunited with the temperamental forward.Balotelli's agent, Mino Raiola, flew back to Italy from Manchester on Thursday and conceded the deal is still some way from being rubber-stamped."As long as there's hope there's life," Raiola told Sky Italia, amid reports that the sticking point is the 19-year-old's wage demands."He's calm but anxious to come to an agreement, that's normal for a lad of 19."We're working and we're hoping."

The classic design has already proved a big hit with the big Belgian defender. “I really like this new kit. It’s the typical colours for Arsenal, white and red, and it’s really nice. Every club has their own traditional colours.
