Arsenal to make £25m bid for Mario Balotelli?

Arsenal will make a £25m bid for AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli, according to reports.

The Italian international has been linked with a return to the Premier League this summer, while AS Monaco are also believed to be interested in the 23-year-old.

According to the Daily Express, Arsene Wenger has made it clear that he is willing to offer £25m in a bid to beat the Ligue 1 side to Balotelli.

The forward scored Italy's winning goal during their 2-1 victory over England at the World Cup on Saturday.
