Wenger eyes super Mario

ARSENE WENGER is eyeing £20million-rated Inter Milan star Mario Balotelli.
SunSport understands Arsenal scouts watched the Italy hitman in Inter's 5-0 win at Genoa last weekend, while Gunners boss Wenger is also keen on Ajax's Gregory van der Wiel for £8m.
Balotelli, 19, is highly regarded by Inter boss Jose Mourinho but is behind Gabriel Milito, Samuel Eto'o and David Suazo in the San Siro pecking order. But he fits in perfectly with the profile of Wenger's young team - and it is no secret that the Frenchman wants to add another frontman to his squad.
Bordeaux's Marouane Chamakh was Wenger's No 1 summer target but the move hit the buffers when the French club blocked his approach. Balotelli, on the other hand, is understood to be willing to consider a move to London to get more regular first-team action.
In addition, Wenger is tracking Dutch right-back Van der Wiel - having already snapped up Thomas Vermaelen from Ajax for £10m in June. Van der Wiel, 21, has been capped five times by his country. He has built a reputation as an exceptionally fast defender and a January move is being looked into.
