Arsenal boss Wenger meets with Raiola about Balotelli deal

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has met with the agent of AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli. The Daily Express says Arsenal will make a move for Balotelli in the summer after Wenger held talks with the player's agent this week.

Indeed, the 23-year-old reportedly told agent Mino Raiola that he wanted to leave in January but preliminary talks with Chelsea - about a reunion with Jose Mourinho - failed to amount to anything.
