Former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein is a fan of Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli.
At Soccerex this week, Dein was asked his opinion of Balotelli, who was linked with Arsenal earlier in the summer before leaving AC Milan for the Reds.
He told TMW: "Balotelli is a special guy and you have to handle him carefully.
" In my opinion, he is a football natural and he has character (to succeed)."
Balotelli is set to make his home debut at Anfield this weekend against Aston Villa.
