AC Milan coach Max Allegri sees a lot of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Mario Balotelli.

Ibra left Milan last summer for PSG.

"He's similar to Ibrahimovic both physically and technically," Allegri said. "But he can get better because he's playing with continuity here.

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

"The important thing is that he keeps on playing for the team."
