Former Inter Milan assistant coach Fernando Orsi believes Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is far from peaking.

Orsi worked with Balotelli - and City manager Roberto Mancini - at Inter.

He told Tuttomercatoweb.com: "To me, he has not yet exploded, he's improving, after all, he is only 21 years old, do not forget.

"He has great quality and if he improves gradually, these qualities will become continuous and transform Mario into a great player."
