Allegri: Balotelli is like Ibrahimovic

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has compared Mario Balotelli to his side's former talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Goal.com reported. 

Balotelli joined the Rossoneri in January, and has since scored seven goals in his first six games for the club, leading Allegri to compare the 22-year-old with the Paris Saint-Germain star.

“He’s similar to Ibrahimovic both physically and technically, but he can get better because he’s playing with continuity here," Allegri told a press conference.

“Balotelli still has to improve a lot as a centre-forward given his potential, but he has all the right ingredients to do it."
