Agent insists Balotelli will come good at Liverpool

The agent of Mario Balotelli insists the Italian remains happy at Liverpool.

The striker was overlooked for the weekend's FA Cup stalemate with Bolton Wanderers.

Mino Raiola told Sky Sports: "Mario Balotelli is happy at Liverpool.

"No, he is not happy to be out, but his reaction was very professional. He is doing everything possible to meet the demands of Brendan Rodgers, I believe that coming here was the best move.

"He needs time to integrate fully into the new reality, but remains one of the best in the world in his role.

"In January we never asked for a sale, all considerations are postponed until next summer."
