Target open to switch

Fri, 29 May 15:33:01 2009

Inter Milan teenager Mario Balotelli admits he would be open to a move to West Ham rather than carry on warming the bench at the San Siro.

The 18-year-old played under Hammers manager Gianfranco Zola when he was working with the Italy Under-21s and was linked with a move to Upton Park during the January transfer window.

Balotelli could be allowed to move on loan next season to get some first-team experience.

"There were times when I wanted to play and I would have joined a smaller side in a foreign league rather than sitting around on the bench here," he said.

"But that's just normal and it's part of who I am. If I don't get to play then I want to leave.

"If the club agrees and a big team want me in the future then I would be happy to move abroad and try something different."

  5. so he is happy to stay if he plays, or happy to come to­ little west ham until someone big wants him... maybe­ he has already learnt that he is never goingto be­ bigger than a big club ??
