Mino Raiola admits Nice striker Mario Balotelli needs to watch his gob.

Last week, the former AC Milan striker was sent off for swearing at the referee in English during Nice's 1-0 victory over Lorient.

“I've found the solution: we'll cut off his tongue," he told RMC.

“You don't need a language to play football, so we're going to cut it off.

“In all seriousness, though, I know that he made a big mistake. He can have no excuses, it's something that he knows he must improve on. It's sad for himself and the team."
