3-Way Tug-of-War for Inter Forward

The Times has reported that Premiership giants Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are in a three-way tug-of-war to sign Inter Milan’s Mario Balotelli.

The 17-year old forward has made eleven starts for Inter, scoring three goals. Balotelli was recently called up the Ghanian national team, through his parentage, but declined the call-up to pursue his dream of playing for Italy.

The striker is still considered an immigrant in Italy, as he was born to a Ghanaian family then put up for adoption. He will not be declared a legal Italian citizen until his 18^th birthday.
