Newcastle United Eyeing Shock Move for Former Premier League Star Mario Balotelli

Former Liverpool and Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is reportedly keen on a return to Premier League football, with Newcastle United one potential destination.

The Italian currently plies his trade in Ligue 1 with OGC Nice, however reports suggest that the club are unwilling to offer the 28-year-old a new contract, with his current one set to expire in the summer.

Only Huddersfield Town have notched fewer goals than Newcastle this term, highlighting their need for a prolific Premier League goal scorer, and Mario Balotelli could be the answer to their goalscoring woes.
