Mario Balotelli considers England return?

Mario Balotelli has reportedly targeted a return to the Premier League.

The 23-year-old former Manchester City frontman left England's top flight in January 2013 to move back to his native Italy with AC Milan.

However, according to The Mirror, Milan are now prepared to part with the centre-forward, who has scored 30 goals in 54 outings for the club.

It is believed that City negotiated a buy-back option when they sold the Italian international, but they have no interest in re-signing a player that spent two and a half years at the Etihad Stadium.

The report added that North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur could be tempted into making a bid for his services.
